Ever since Rayan Cherki put in a sparkling cameo performance for France in their 5-4 UEFA Nations League semi-final defeat to Spain, anticipation has built ahead of his expected move to Manchester

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Manchester City remain confident of signing Rayan Cherki (21) from Lyon this summer despite seeing their first bid rejected by the Ligue 1 club. Talks remain open

PSG are expected to demand €40 million (£33.7 million, $45.6 million) to part ways with the 21-year-old, well aware that such a sale would still prove a huge discount on Cherki
