Its release Thursday evening on the side of Old Trafford practically coincided with the final sinking of Olympique Lyonnais. Until then on the lawn, Rayan Cherki has regularly set fire to the defense of Manchester United, finding solutions, improving the balloons and the Lyon actions. An individual performance which obviously did not escape his coach.
Present on Saturday at a press conference on the eve of the derby that OL is playing this Sunday against AS Saint-Etienne, Paulo Fonseca took the opportunity to say all the good he thought of his player.
“When I got here, I knew Rayan's qualities. He is one of the best players I have trained. »»
A good tribute from the Portuguese tactician who added some additional praise. “I think Rayan has this special ability that allows him to see things that are difficult to see. He has an incredible technical and decision -making capacity. He's a different player. »»
Cherki, a coveted talent
International Hope statistics this season alone prove the new dimension taken by Cherki for a few months. Involved on seventeen of the twenty-five goals scored in Ligue 1 by Olympique Lyonnais (eight goals and nine assists), the playmaker is a crucial and regularly decisive element of the team trained by Paulo Fonseca.
If he will finish the season with the Gones, the rest of Rayan Cherki's career will probably write elsewhere next summer. With an estimated market value at thirty-five million euros, it could well be sold by the club of John Textor which needs to bail out its boxes before its next pass in front of the DNCG. Candidates for the purchase of Rayan Cherki should be numerous.
