Manchester City · Premier LeagueRayan Cherki is a 22-year-old attacking midfield who plays for Manchester City in Premier League. As of the 2025/26 season their market value is €76m and their ScoutRox Score rating is 76, with a potential of 78.
Rayan Cherki is the standout creator of this group, and at 22 he carries one of the highest ceilings on ScoutRox — a potential rating of 78, the best here. His assist output tells the story: 12 assists across 33 appearances, supported by 58 key passes, 19 big chances created and an expected-assists figure of 8.7 that marks him as an elite chance manufacturer.
His game is all vision and delivery rather than defensive graft; an 87.9% pass-completion rate and low duel involvement frame him as a pure attacking hub. At €76m, Manchester City are buying upside as much as present-day output.
Still only 22, he is the youngest marquee name in this batch and the one whose value is most tied to development. If the goal threat catches up to the creation, the ceiling is very high.
