Sidiki Chérif leaves Fenerbahçe for Coventry in €25m deal | OneFootball

Sidiki Chérif has signed a five-year deal with Coventry in the Premier League, six months after joining Fenerbahçe. According to L'Équipe, the transfer is worth €25m.

The 19-year-old former Angers forward departs the club he joined in January, having scored three goals in 17 appearances.

Brought through at Angers, the Guinean is in the process of naturalisation and was on France Under-21s’ radar in March. He played 36 matches for the French side, scoring four.

Coventry were the best team in the Championship last season and are coached by English legend Frank Lampard.

Fenerbahçe have strengthened in Chérif’s position in recent days by completing the signing of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, 33, who was eliminated in the World Cup quarter-finals this summer against Spain.

Fenerbahçe will face Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League play-offs on 18 August in Türkiye and on 26 August in France.
