12 goals and 20 assists in 44 games! Lyon s new star has become a hot spot in the summer window, and the Premier League double-red joins the team

Serky seemed to say goodbye to the team in an emotional way after his last Ligue 1 game of the season in Lyon.

When the Premier League transfer rumors were buzzing, Serky revealed that he had finished his last game for Lyon. The French midfielder gave his 20th assist of the season in Lyon's 2-0 victory over Angers, helping Paul Fonseca's side to move beyond Strasbourg to sixth in the league. Le Havre was able to secure a qualifying spot in the 99th minute of stoppage time with Abdulaye Toure defeating the Strasbourg Youth Army led by Rosenio.

This European qualification may be crucial given the club's precarious financial situation, but Lyon seems to be difficult to keep Serki, one of their core players this summer.

"I think this is my last game for Lyon, but I will be cautious because I know what I went through last summer," the French midfielder said. "I know what I went through. I will see where fate took me, but I am proud of everything I did for Lyon."

Last summer, Serky was close to joining teams such as Lazio and Fulham, but the transfer was not done. This season, this creative midfielder shined in Ligue 1, contributing 12 goals and 20 assists in 44 games in various competitions. Although he was highly anticipated when he was young, it was not until this season that the 21-year-old Serky truly began to show his talent that had shined in his teenage years.

According to European media reports, Sherky's performance has attracted the attention of many Premier League clubs, and both Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in it. And his statement in the post-match interview will undoubtedly encourage these teams. After the weekend's game, Cherki, who was replaced, burst into tears on the court - his 185th Lyon appearance is likely to be a masterpiece. With only one year left in the contract, the 21-year-old's transfer fee may be as low as £19 million (about $25.2 million) this summer. For Lyon, selling him is a reasonable choice.

In addition to Liverpool and Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle may also join the competition. In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain may consider bringing the French offensive genius under his command.
