A new number ten has arrived at Manchester City | OneFootball

With Jack Grealish having completed a loan move to Everton for the 25/26 season, the number ten was vacant at Manchester City. If any player in the City squad was suited to the number ten, it was Rayan Cherki. The club have today announced that Cherki will wear the number this season. It’s a number that suits the French international and his style of play. It is almost the perfect fit for a player who could be Manchester City’s most exciting summer signing.

Rayan Cherki will wear the number ten for Manchester City.

As mentioned above, Manchester City have confirmed the shirt number that Rayan Cherki will wear for the 25/26 season. He will take the 10 shirt vacated by Jack Grealish. It is a number that seems to suit Cherki as a player. Especially considering the strengths of Cherki’s game. Grealish leaves City as a treble winner in the number 10, Cherki will be hoping to be just as successful in terms of trophies won at City as Grealish was.

Rayan Cherki can potentially be one of the most exciting City players for some time.

As a player, Rayan Cherki could be one of the most exciting players Manchester City has had for some time. The French international is a player with almost unparalleled technical ability. His dribbling skills and touch are mesmerising, and Cherki is a magician with his passing ability. Cherki can also produce the spectacular in terms of his goal scoring. After arriving at Manchester City from Lyon, he arrives with all of the talent and potential to mesmerise crowds and City’s opponents next season. Cherki could be the ultimate lock pick for Pep Guardiola’s side

Rayan Cherki will wear the number ten for Manchester City next season. Just like Erling Haaland who took the number nine shirt when he arrived at the club, it feels right to see Cherki in the number ten.

Of course, there is also one more famous number ten that dominated during his time at Manchester City. That is Sergio Aguero. If Rayan Cherki can achieve half of what Aguero did during his time at the Etihad, he will go down as a City hero. He has all of the necessary attributes to become just that.
