Sidiki Chérif seals Coventry move from Fenerbahçe
The 19-year-old Guinea-born striker joins the Premier League side on a five-year deal for €25 million.
Sidiki Chérif is now a Coventry City player in the Premier League. The 19-year-old striker from Guinea arrives from Fenerbahçe for a transfer fee of €25 million and has committed to the English club for the next five seasons, according to L'Équipe.
The forward is a former Angers SCO player, where he developed his skills and recorded 36 appearances and 4 goals across all competitions before heading to Istanbul. At Fenerbahçe, he made 17 appearances and scored 3 goals, experience that has now earned him the move to English football's top flight.
Rising talent on the international radar
Chérif is an under-21 international for France and is in the process of obtaining French citizenship. He was already on the radar of the French youth setup just months ago. His arrival at Coventry represents a show of faith in youth in attack and continues the club's commitment to strengthening their squad in the Premier League this season.
