Chelsea given major transfer incentive to sign Mason Mount heir 'better than Dominik Szoboszlai'

Chelsea have been given a major incentive to replace Mason Mount with Rayan Cherki. The 19-year-old wonderkid has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer following a meteoric rise to superstardom at Olympique Lyonnais.

Cherki, featured 34 times for Laurent Blanc's side in Ligue 1 last season, directly contributing towards ten goals. Despite his age, the teenage sensation has quickly established himself in the Lyon starting lineup.

He was fast-tracked into the first-team a couple of years ago following his impressive performances in the academy and made his senior debut in the Champions League at the age of just 16. The France Under-21 international hasn't looked back since and he's now said to be on the Blues' radar this summer.
