Manchester City added Son Heung-min-class talent.
Manchester City announced on the 11th (Korea time) that it would recruit Rayan Sherki. The contract period is five years, and he will play in Manchester City's uniform until the summer of 2030. Sherkey will make his debut in the Club World Cup.
Sherky "This is like a dream to me. To be honest, it's really special to be at a club like Manchester City and to be at the next stage of your career here. "I've been working on this moment all my life. Love football and can't wait to grow further with Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff here in Manchester" he said.
Everyone knows how great Manchester City is. It has been a huge success over the years. I want to contribute responsibly to continuing that success"Leaving Lyon was only when it was a project I could really trust. Everything about City gave me confidence that I could develop my game and help my team succeed in the future. I'm looking forward to the day when I can show myself in front of my fans."
Manchester City had nothing to do with last season. Since the launch of the English Premier League last season, Manchester City, which has become the strongest team in England, has had its worst year with repeated injuries and sluggishness this season. Even the FA Cup, which was the last chance, was missed. The only comfort was to qualify for the European Champions League.
Manchester City are on a generational shift to open a new chapter. Kevin De Bruyne, who was a key midfielder, will break up after this season. The Bruyne's frequent injuries are a fault, but he still showed top performance in the game. But Manchester City took the plunge and chose to part ways. The Bruyne has expressed regret over the club's policy, but is looking for a new team.
Manchester City, where the league's strongest chance maker called The Bruyne is leaving, is looking for a new midfielder. In the beginning, the top priority was German talent, Leverkusen's Florian Birtz. Birtz is performing best, leading Leverkusen to an unbeaten championship. He has the best talent in everything, including dribbling and passing. Pep Guardiola has long appreciated Birtz and, surprisingly, Birtz's choice was Manchester City's rival Liverpool. Negotiations have not yet been concluded, but Birtz is keen to go to Liverpool. As the transfer fee negotiations are also in the final stages, there is a high possibility that the announcement will be made soon.
I put a new player on the radar. Lyon's special honor was Sherkie. Scherkey made his Lyon first team debut in 2019 at the age of 16, setting the record for the youngest score in club history and the youngest European Champions League appearance. Sherkey was Lyon's ace in the 2024-2025 season. He scored 12 goals and 20 assists. With amazing technology and passing sense, he even has the versatility to pull off the entire second line. He is disappointed in his amount of activity and defense, but he has skills to offset it. Sherkey also won the Europa League Young Player Award this season. Recently, he was selected for the French national team and scored his debut goal in the semifinals of the European Nations League against Spain.
Guardiola kept an eye on Sherki's skills. Sherkey was called by big clubs early on, and Dortmund, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested. In particular, Lyon has been disciplined by the International Football Federation for its failure to pay transfer fees, making it unclear where it will go next season. It also has financial problems, so key resources need to be sorted out. This is why Sherki said he would leave the team.
Manchester City have been aggressive. There is a last-minute variable. Liverpool jumped in. Manager Arne Slot was so active that he had a meeting with Sherkie during his French vacation. But in the end Man City laughed. Manchester City reportedly paid a transfer fee of 35 million to 40 million euros, far exceeding 20 million to 25 million pounds, which is known as Sherki's buyout amount.
With the recruitment of Sherkie, Manchester City have a new style. Sherkey's greatest strength is his ability to use both feet. Manchester City confirmed the signing of Scherkey and explained that Scherkey, a winger and attacking midfielder, is good at breaking through space or beating defenders, stands out in both scoring and assists, and that he has the ability to shoot or cross from any angle because he can use both feet freely.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Sherkie is so good at using both feet, kicking a corner with both feet. He handled the set piece with his right foot in the Nations League and crossed with his left foot. Of the 44 shots Scherki recorded in Ligue 1 last season, exactly 22 were left footed and 22 were right footed, a record of how good his ability to use both feet is. Coach Thierry Henry, who joined Scherky in the Under-21 team, even said, `I've never seen a player dribble so fast with both feet like Scherky.'

Up until now, Son Heung-min was the best two-footed player on the English stage. There are more points scored with the left foot than the main right foot. He was also ranked in the top 20 strongest two-footed players in history. The Breiner is envious. Will Sherki be able to show Son Heung-min-class foot skills. It is one of the concerns of the new season.
