Rayan Cherki makes history with most Premier League double-plus assists

Rayan Cherki, Manchester City attacking midfielder, has surpassed Bruno Fernandes' record for double-plus assists in a Premier League season. The 22-year-old France international achieved two-plus assists in four different matches this season across all competitions, becoming the most creative midfielder in the league this term. Cherki is one ahead of Fernandes, who has assisted two goals in three different matches for Manchester United. Additionally, Cherki is the first player to reach 10 plus assists in his debut Premier League season since Dimitri Payet in 2015-16. The former Lyon star has quickly adapted to Pep Guardiola's system since joining Man City last year. Has Cherki's emergence changed how you view creative midfielders in the Premier League?
