Chelsea have reportedly been in contact with representatives of Lyon youngster Rayan Cherki as they look to replace AC Milan-bound Christian Pulisic.

The Blues have set their sights on the rising star despite the French club’s reluctance to sell and his existing agreement that keeps him in northwestern France until 2025.

Unfazed, Chelsea are pursuing a deal and are considering an official offer for the 19-year-old after discussions with his team, according to Football.london.

The outlet also report that PSG have maintained their interest in the winger following an unsuccessful approach in January.
