  ⚪️ ⚽️ RAYAN CHERKI

  Sep 22, 202619 min

  CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/footballforkids?srsltid=AU7gw4Ujku7pNss_BBXpuUczYhaYsm1ic4VyOgK48jGkFyjCN5RqMHuE ⚽️ RAYAN CHERKI: THE TWO-FOOTED FOOTBALL GENIUS! Is Rayan Cherki one of the most naturally gifted footballers in the Premier League? In this episode of Football For Kids, we tell the incredible story of Rayan Cherki, the Manchester City and France star who has been amazing football fans with his skills, tricks, creativity, goals and assists since he was a kid. Cherki is not your ordinary footballer. Left foot? Brilliant. Right foot? Brilliant. Dribbling? Ridiculous. Passing? Sometimes it looks like he can see things on a football pitch before everybody else! But the story of Rayan Cherki is about much more than football skills and highlight videos. We go right back to the beginning and discover how Cherki joined the famous Olympique Lyonnais academy at just seven years old, before quickly developing a reputation as one of the most exciting young footballers in France. You’ll hear about his incredible rise through the Lyon academy, becoming a UEFA Youth League goalscorer at only 15, making his senior breakthrough as a teenager and producing an unforgettable performance against Nantes when he scored twice and created two more goals. And he was still only a kid! We follow Cherki through the pressure of being labelled a football wonderkid, the criticism he faced, the moments when people questioned whether his incredible natural ability would ever turn into consistent performances and the work required to become an elite professional footballer. Then came a huge 2024/25 season. Goals. Assists. Europa League performances. France recognition. And suddenly, some of the biggest clubs in world football were watching. We explore Cherki's journey with France, including winning an Olympic silver medal, before looking at the moment his career took another enormous step... His move from Lyon to Manchester City. Cherki arrived in England in the summer of 2025 to join one of the biggest football clubs in the world, taking Manchester City's famous number 10 shirt and beginning his adventure in the Premier League. We look at what makes Rayan Cherki different, why being genuinely brilliant with both feet is such a huge advantage, how his creativity can unlock a defence and why players who try something unusual sometimes have to accept that it will not work every single time. Because this is also a story about something every young footballer can learn from. Talent is a fantastic starting point. But talent still needs hard work. Cherki had incredible ability from an incredibly young age. His challenge was learning how to combine that freedom, imagination and skill with the consistency and discipline required at the very highest level. And perhaps that is what makes his journey so fascinating. The tricks never disappeared. The imagination never disappeared. He simply had to learn how to use them better. So whether you support Manchester City, follow the Premier League, love watching France, remember Cherki at Lyon, or simply want to learn about one of the most skilful and entertaining footballers in the world, this episode is for you. Football For Kids brings football stories, player biographies, Premier League episodes, football history, quizzes, facts and incredible sporting journeys to young football fans around the world.
