Rayan Cherki wants to honor his captain. While Alexandre Lacazette will last the last time the tunic of Olympique Lyonnais this Saturday against Angers in Ligue 1, the young French attacking midfielder wants to mark the occasion.
For this event, the Olympic vice-champion 2024 wishes to see its elder crossing the symbolic bar of 200 goals under the Lyon colors. To date, the former Gunner has 199 achievements in 390 games disputed with the Gones.
“I don't know if it will be my last game with OL”
“I have only one desire, it is to see Alex Marque. I'm going to do everything to score his 200th goal. And his 201e, 202nd, 203rd… He goes in legend, it is for me the greatest legend of this club. I want to thank him, he taught me a lot. And I don't know if it will be my last game with OL. In any case I want to thank fans ”said the player trained at OL this Thursday in front of the press.
If the departure of General Lacazette is now acted, even if his next destination remains unknown, Cherki could also take a similar path this summer. Indeed, despite a contract running until June 2026, he was strongly expected to leave the Rhone club after six seasons.
