The Rayan Cherki Assist Record milestone was confirmed after the French midfielder registered multiple assists in another influential display, further underlining his growing impact under Pep Guardiola this season.

According to OptaJoe, Cherki has now assisted two or more goals in four separate matches across all competitions this season, more than any other Premier League player.

This places him ahead of Bruno Fernandes, who has achieved the same feat in three matches for Manchester United during the campaign.

Cherki has also become the first player to reach double-digit assists in his debut Premier League season since former West Ham United playmaker Dimitri Payet achieved the feat in the 2015–16 season.

The 22-year-old joined Manchester City from Olympique Lyonnais last year and has quickly established himself as a key creative force within Pep Guardiola’s squad.

His vision, movement, and final pass were again on display against Chelsea, where City secured a crucial victory to maintain pressure on league leaders Arsenal in the title race.

The French international’s rapid adaptation to English football has added another attacking dimension to City’s midfield, complementing an already formidable squad.
