Rayan Cherki (21) is in a rich vein of form currently, however, he may be in his final few months, even weeks, at formative club Olympique Lyonnais.

The France youth international was ostracised at the start of the season amid a contract standoff. His contract had been set to expire at the end of the season, however, ultimately, he extended by a further year, allowing his re-integration. He has since gone on to net five goals and register six assists in 16 matches. Since breaking through as a teenager, this is his first consistent patch of form.

However, the Frenchman may leave the club in January. Whilst OL are reportedly keen to retain Cherki, they may have little choice in the matter. Lyon are being forced to raise funds this January following a provisional relegation to Ligue 2. Selling assets, such as Cherki, will prevent that fate, even if other, more peripheral figures have been touted for departures.

Liverpool have been linked with the €25m playmaker most notably. Speaking to Canal Plus, Cherki addressed his future. “For now, there are two matches left (until the winter break). We’ll see if I’m still here come the end of the season,” he said.
