Liverpool could do a lot worse than turning their attention to the 2024 Paris Olympics in search of transfer targets as Arne Slot looks to make his first summer signing.
Slot is on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and after earning comparisons as the 'next Eden Hazard', Cherki seems to fit the bill.

It also doesn't hurt that the prospect only has one year left on his current contract - despite Lyon already offering him an extension - suggesting he may be available at a reduced price.

Young Argentinian defensive midfielder Federico Redondo has been linked to Liverpool for some time and could be a solid addition to their engine room.
The gem hails from the same Argentinos Juniors production line that produced Alexis Mac Allister, who has quickly become a key figure at Anfield.

Redondo's contract was set to expire this year, which reportedly attracted attention from top clubs like Liverpool and United, who were interested in securing his services.
His connection to football runs deep, and his style of play has been compared to La Liga legend Sergio Busquets, who is now his club team-mate.

Egyptian centre-back Omar Fayed could be a long-term defensive solution for Liverpool should he make the move to Anfield.
The prospect of Fayed following in Salah's footsteps and becoming an Egyptian figurehead at the club - while stepping into Van Dijk's role as a defensive linchpin - could become a reality if Liverpool opt to take a punt.
If Fayed can replicate his impressive levels at the Olympics - where he kept a clean sheet in his team's opening draw against the Dominican Republic - he could cement his place in Turkey next season under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho.
That could set the stage for the 21-year-old to make a move to Merseyside.
