Borussia Dortmund have recently been linked with a move for Olympique Lyon's Rayan Cherki.

And according to Sky Germany, the Black and Yellows are still weighing up whether to make an offer for the 21-year-old before the transfer window closes.

New Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac will reportedly play a key role in deciding whether a move is made, with Cherki having been told he can leave for €22.5 million.

“Of course we are looking at options on the market. But I think we will remain calm - that we will use the next few days to perhaps do something,” Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl recently told Ruhr24. 

“But it's also possible that we won't do anything at all. We have to be absolutely convinced. We will analyse all this together with Niko.”

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has scored five goals and provided eight assists in 25 appearances for Lyon this season.
