If Rayan Cherki performs for Manchester City as confidently as he talks, the club will have already completed one of the most successful and eye-catching transfer deals of the summer.

Rayan Cherki has said he is hoping that Manchester City can provide the platform to win the Ballon d'Or following his move from Lyon.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Rayan Cherki from French club Lyon for €36.5million (£30.9m, $41.7m). The 21-year-old France international has signed a five-year contract until 2030. He will be available to play for Pep Guardiola’s side at the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States.
