Rayan Cherki compared to Eden Hazard

If you’re being in his💞 prime, you’re doing something right and that’s what Rayan Cherki has had put to him.

Rudi Garcia made the claim, suggesting Cherki very much reminded him of the great Belgian🌼.

Gerard Houllier had this with Steven Gerrarꦺd, who he started at 17 years old,” Garcia said about the hype surrounding Cherki.

“He played 15 games, then 25 and then started to play whole seasons. I had the same with Ed♏en Hazard at Lille. You have to watch, see how the player beh🌟aves and be careful.”

C⛎herki, then, could very much be on his way to the top, with a move to England potentially in the pipeline it seems.
