Crystal Palace and Wrexham target Sidiki Chérif is set to undergo an MRI scan over fears about a knock to his right ankle.
That’s according to L’Equipe. The newspaper cover the Angers striker today. He is still missing from training with the French side.
Sidiki Chérif is suffering due to a knock on his ankle, which he picked up in the recent 0-0 draw with Paris FC. The injury saw him miss Angers’ training session on Wednesday, after also missing Tuesday’s proceedings.
The forward was undergoing treatment on Tuesday for the injury, which clearly didn’t clear things up. Chérif is now scheduled for a follow-up MRI scan this week, which sounds concerning when it comes to a transfer.
Those MRI results will determine what comes next, and potentially his future. Should they throw up a concern then it’s highly unlikely he’ll be going to Crystal Palace, Wrexham or anywhere else this month.
The 19-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Angers throughout this month. Crystal Palace are known to be keen on him, particularly if they lose Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Then came the surprise interest from Wrexham. The Welsh club have been linked with a relatively bit money swoop. In fact, they could be set to pay a Championship record for the striker.
That, though, is all on hold.
Like Angers, Crystal Palace and Wrexham will be waiting for a full status update before making their moves. That MRI scan is crucial, with a transfer extremely unlikely if it brings up anything too serious.
All eyes towards France, then, for those interested in Sidiki Chérif.
