According to I caught an offside Sources Manchester United and Tottenham are leading the race to sign the 21-year-old League One Star.
Bundesliga Giants Bayern Munich is also part of a race to sign the young talented Frenchman who scored 12 goals this season and provided 19 assists to the French club.
Lyon has set a asking price of 335 million euros for Cerki. This is a number that top European clubs consider bargains to take into account his extraordinary talent and quality.
