Manchester City announced the signing of Rayan Cherkie from Lyon with the player calling the move a personal dream. The reported €36 million ($41.1 million) transfer sees Cherki sign a five-year deal at his new club which will keep him there until 2030.

City are keen on Cherki and clearly can do the deal but they will have to move quickly and on Sunday, sources inside the club were calling reports of the transfer being agreed as 'premature'.
