Rayan Cherrki made a look at the victory at the D’O Ballon or after finishing his move by Manchester City.
The 21-year-old joined the Premier League champions in a contract worth 30.6 million pounds ahead of their World Cup club campaign.
After appearing as one of the brightest young perspectives in European football, Cherka arrives at City Fresh outside his senior debut for the French national team against Spain earlier this month.
His ambition is clear – to become the best in the world – and he believes that Manchester City is the perfect environment that dream becomes reality.
“When you see Rodri, he won the D’Oi or here in Balloon,” Cerkki said as he spoke at City’s Club Club World Training Base in Florida.
“Clearly it is possible with Manchester City and I’m here for it. I want to win and I think Manchester City wants to win everything. It’s better for me.”
Cherkki is expected to portray Cherkki in Philadelphia in Philadelphia in the city’s upcoming fasteners against the Moroccan side of Wydad AC. Even before he stepped into the field in the city shirt, he had already attracted the attention of fans, especially because of his comments focused on local Manchester United rivals.

Cerkki had previously faced United in the Europe League. In the second leg at Old Trafford, Lyon was reduced to ten men, but still led 4-2 before it ultimately fell 5-4 in additional time.
During the tie, Cherrki scored a goal that briefly put his side 3-2 ahead and appeared to gesture to United fans.
Thinking about that night, he didn’t stay: “I’m here to win all the games.
“I don’t like when Manchester United won the game against Lyon because I’m Lyonnais. Now I’m waiting for him to play (yes) to kill them.”
Cerki’s addition gives Guardiola to another attack, especially in the light of the recent departure of Kevin de Bruyne.
There are speculations on how much a French young man will adapt to the tactical expectations of Guardiola, especially his responsibilities from the ball.
However, it seems that he has already linked to the city manager, who gave him a sense of freedom in possession.
“Pep said to me,” When you have a ball, you’re free “which is very good for me because my first quality help is my team,” Cherka added.
“When I talked to PEP, he wanted me. He was very, very clear. System, club, the city is very good. I talked to PEP about my position on the field and we talked about what I enjoy when I was on the ground.”
