Fulham are back in talks with Olympique Lyonnais over a late move for French youth international Rayan Cherki, according to various reports.

The Whites made a structured bid worth £35m for the talented forward – who can play on either flank, as a number ten or a false nine – but that was rejected by the French outfit, who currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in Ligue 1. Both clubs are now engaged in discussions about a possible loan deal with an option to buy that could beat the English and French transfer deadlines.
