Rayan Cherki will don the legendary No. 10 for Manchester City this year. Jack Grealish’s season-long loan with Everton made the shirt number available.
Before the FIFA Club World Cup, the French midfielder from Lyon signed a five-year contract.
Wearing No. 29, he made his debut in a 2-0 win over Wydad AC before scoring in the 6-0 victory over Al Ain.
Cherki now turns to a number much connected with football’s most imaginative players.
Some of the greatest players for City have sported the No. 10. The club’s all-time leading scorer, Sergio Aguero, changed to 10 for his last six seasons at the Etihad.
Other City symbols wearing the number include Edin Dzeko, Shaun Goater, and Asa Hartford.
The France international’s fresh shirt mirrors his role as a playmaker and the expectation that he will inspire in attack this season.
