Sidiki Cherif, a 19-year-old French forward who was linked with Fulham, Newcastle United, and Sunderland in November, is now the subject of competing interest from Crystal Palace and Wrexham. Crystal Palace made a proposal worth up to £13.1m for the Angers SCO player, structured as an initial loan with a potential permanent transfer. Angers values Cherif at £17.4m. Alan Nixon reported that Wrexham is preparing a £19m offer for the player, who joined Angers in July 2023 and is under contract until 2028. This season, he has scored 4 goals in 18 Ligue 1 appearances. Angers also reportedly rejected a €23 million offer from Paris FC and multiple proposals from Crystal Palace valued between €15 million and €20 million in January 2026. An offer of nearly €20 million from Villarreal was considered insufficient in December 2025. The player's current Transfermarkt market value is €7.00m.
