Rayan Cherki sends Liverpool perfect transfer reminder as another ‘target’ fires huge statement

The latest Liverpool news after reported transfer target Rayan Cherki impressed for France Under-21s alongside another player who the Reds are credited with an interest in.

Harvey Elliott and reported Liverpool transfer target, Rayan Cherki, faced off for the second time in their young careers on Friday night as the latter exacted revenge two years after their first meeting. In their first match-up, Cherki and Elliott started at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium when England Under-21s won 4-0 against France.

The then-teenage Reds midfielder did not contribute to the goals, but Curtis Jones did assist the second for Noni Madueke before scoring the third as a substitute. Almost precisely two years to that day, Cherki set up two goals inside the opening seven minutes – the first a pinpoint pass straight into the path of Quentin Merlin, the second a raking through ball from inside his own half – as France went from a goal down to 2-1 up.
