Fulham Transfer Coup: Benrahma and Cherki on Radar

Fulham is attempting to disrupt Lyon’s move for West Ham winger Said Benrahma who had a medical scheduled with the French club. A private jet is arranged for Benrahma to fly to Lyon but Fulham’s last minute bid may complicate matters. Lyon had agreed to loan Benrahma with an option to buy for £15 million but Fulham’s interest could thwart this.

Additionally, Fulham is reportedly pursuing Rayan Cherki from Lyon for £30 million potentially surpassing their previous transfer record. Benrahma is also attracting attention from Saudi Arabia, Marseille and his former club Brentford. Meanwhile, West Ham is considering loaning Al-Ittihad winger Jota but needs to raise funds.
