Man City: Erling Haaland enthuses over Rayan Cherki

On Sunday evening, Rayan Cherki once again impressed at Anfield during the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Well known for his creativity, France international Rayan Cherki (23, 6 appearances and 4 goals in the Premier League this season) delighted Erling Haaland (26, 6 appearances and 6 goals in the Premier League this season). The Norwegian striker was delighted to be playing alongside the French playmaker.

"It's fun to play with him and watch him play. These days, there aren't many players like him anymore: technical players who try things. This kind of talented player is gradually disappearing from football. Having him with us is special because he tries things that nobody else would dare to do or even imagine. That's a good thing," the Norwegian told Canal+.

Haaland's warning to Cherki

In good form, Rayan Cherki will still have to do even better. Erling Haaland pointed this out. "Is he better than last season? Yes, without a doubt. It's his second season, so we expect a lot from him because he plays for Manchester City and he's our number 10. He has to be good," warned the Cyborg.

Tomorrow, Manchester City take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
