Romano just can’t name the precise golf equipment at the instant, but it also looks unlikely that Chelsea will be again in for the remarkably-rated youthful Frenchman once again any time soon.
The Blues largely had an curiosity in signing Bradley Barcola from Lyon, while he finished up going to PSG as a substitute, though Romano included that Cherki could be another participant who fits the profile of what the Ligue 1 champions are looking for for their potential undertaking.
Cherki could definitely do a work for Chelsea, PSG or a host of other major golf equipment, but it appears his upcoming is by no signifies certain at the second.

I’m not authorized to share the names of the clubs who were being in discussions around Cherki in the summer months ideal now, it’s continue to a key, but I can say he’s a player Chelsea have been next,” Romano mentioned.

“There is also some curiosity from Leading League golf equipment, and in January Paris Saint-Germain experimented with to indication the player since he’s a major expertise and the variety that PSG want for the long run of their task, but Lyon ended up pretty potent on their situation and explained no to the chance of providing Cherki.
