Manchester City have officially completed the signing of French attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki from Lyon.
Softfootball reports that the 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League champions after completing his move to England.
Cherki developed through Lyon’s academy and established himself as one of France’s most exciting young attacking players.
His creativity, close control and ability to operate in several attacking positions made him an attractive target for Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola will now have another technically gifted player capable of creating opportunities and contributing in the final third.
Cherki’s arrival also reflects City’s continued investment in young talent as the club looks to maintain its competitiveness domestically and in Europe.
The midfielder will face strong competition for places, but his versatility could give him opportunities across different positions.
Moving to the Premier League represents a major challenge for Cherki, particularly as he adapts to the pace and physical demands of English football.
City will hope his technical qualities allow him to settle quickly into Guardiola’s possession-based system.
The Frenchman’s development will be closely watched by supporters who are eager to see how he performs at the highest level.
Cherki now begins a new chapter in his career at the Etihad Stadium.
His five-year commitment indicates City’s confidence in his potential and their belief that he can become an important player for the club.
