The Reds are set to beat Newcastle to a top young player’s signing

Newcastle United beat Liverpool in the EFL Cup final in March and have the edge over the Reds in the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer.

However, Liverpool are set to turn the tables on the Magpies with their pursuit of a France Under-21 international, who wants to move to England.

According to CaughtOffSide, the Merseyside giants are set to pounce on Lyon star Rayan Cherki, who turns 22 over the summer.

Newcastle are among the Premier League clubs who have been in contact with the player’s representatives over a potential move for Lyon’s creative genius.

However, Liverpool have the upper hand, and the France Under-21 star would prefer a move to Anfield over St. James’ Park this summer.

With only a year left on his contract, he is available for as little as £19m, which makes him an unmissable target for the Reds.
