Manchester City put on a superb display to beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, and it was 23-year-old attacking midfielder Ryan Cherki who capped off the performance with the third goal.
In what was an outstanding individual performance, former Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker expressed his belief on CBS Sports that Cherki has the potential to become the best player in the world.
We are looking at a future Ballon d'Or winner. He has all the qualities and abilities for it. He has character, personality, and he isn't afraid to take risks or try new things.
Modern football often faces criticism for its overly tactical rigidity, but Reo-Coker believes that players like Cherki are essential in saving the sport from robotic tactics.
Football needs more Ryan Cherkis and fewer robots. He’s the kind of player I would pay to watch.
This season, Cherki has already made his mark with five goals and two assists across nine competitions, including four goals from six Premier League outings.
