Lyon have signed Rayan Cherki to a professional contract

France Football report that 15-year-old Rayan Cherki has signed his first professional contract with Lyon, in an enormous coup for President Jean-Michel Aulas, who has tied down on the most exciting world talents until 2022.

This, despite intense competition from Real Madrid and Manchester United. Not quite 16 years old, the left-footed player was already playing for Lyon’s 2nd team, in the French 4th division, last season.

He is now set to join up with the OL 1st team following his deal signing.
