It wasn’t the smoothest of first seasons, but with Europa League qualification secured and a brand of football fans can get behind, it’d be fair to describe Ange Postecoglou’s first year at Tottenham Hotspur as a success.

According to a recent report from French outlet Sports Zone, Tottenham Hotspur are one of several clubs keen on Lyon’s exciting wonderkid, Rayan Cherki.
Alongside the Lilywhites, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are said to be the most interested sides in the young Frenchman, who wants to leave himself.
