Arsenal and Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation surrounding Manchester City midfielder Rayan Cherki. The French playmaker has emerged as a transfer target for top Premier League clubs amidst uncertainty over the club's future due to ongoing financial regulation cases.
Reports suggest that both English giants are prepared to capitalize on the situation if Manchester City is forced to sell players following a verdict on their financial breaches. Since joining the club from Lyon in the summer of 2025 for 36.5 million euros, the 23-year-old has made a strong impression, contributing 4 goals and 2 assists in eight appearances this season.
The race for the Frenchman is expected to be competitive, as several other European clubs are also keeping a close watch on his performances.
