Rayan Cherki has taken a leading role at Manchester City this season, stepping up as the team’s main creator following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne.

The French midfielder has already recorded 10 assists in the league, with his vision, technique, and creativity driving City’s title challenge under Pep Guardiola.

While Rayan delivers on the biggest stage, attention is now shifting to his younger brother, Eden Cherki.

At just 14 years old, Eden is already gaining recognition, with clips of his performances spreading quickly across social media.

Renowned journalist Julien Laurens highlighted his talent.

"If you thought Rayan was special, let me introduce you to Eden Cherki. He is 14. Talent is clearly in the blood," he wrote.

Eden Cherki is currently developing at the Lyon academy, the same club where his older brother began his career.

Early reports describe him as technically gifted, confident on the ball, and highly intelligent in his movement and decision-making.

His name also draws attention. He was named after Eden Hazard, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid star who made his name in France with Lille.

Interest is already growing across Europe. Several top clubs are monitoring his progress, including Barcelona, which is reportedly following his development closely.

Although still at an early stage, Eden Cherki is quickly building a reputation as one of the most exciting young prospects in French football.
