Manchester City. Surprise move – Rayan Cherki handed the No. 10 shirt!

Rayan Cherki hasn’t wasted any time stepping into the spotlight at Manchester City.

Initially set to wear the No. 29 after joining from Lyon this summer (12 goals, 20 assists last season), his plans changed the moment Jack Grealish left for Everton.

The result? The iconic No. 10 jersey once worn by Sergio Agüero now rests on the 21-year-old’s shoulders – a symbol of trust, but also a big dose of pressure.

Forget a gentle transition – with the No. 10, Cherki is expected to pull the strings behind Erling Haaland, creating chances and dictating play.

Already off the mark with a goal and assist at the Club World Cup, the Frenchman will get his Premier League debut this Saturday against Wolves. The shirt is made for big games – now it’s time to see if Cherki can live up to the legacy.
