Rayan Cherki’s debut Premier League campaign with Manchester City has produced 12 assists through late May 2026, leaving him well short of the single-season record of 20 held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne and recently matched or exceeded at 21 by Bruno Fernandes. With only a handful of fixtures remaining, the gap cannot be closed even under optimistic projections of maximum contributions per game. Trader consensus reflects this straightforward arithmetic alongside Cherki’s established usage patterns in Pep Guardiola’s system, where he shares creative duties rather than monopolizing them. While an extended schedule or unprecedented late surge could theoretically alter totals, no such factors are in play, locking in the overwhelming probability that the record will stand.
