Rayan Cherki’s first Premier League campaign with Manchester City has produced creative output but remains well short of the 20-assist single-season benchmark jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. With the 2025/26 campaign in its final weeks, his season-long assist total across all competitions sits around 14, and Premier League figures alone show no realistic path to 21. Bruno Fernandes currently leads the division with 19 assists and two matches left, underscoring how distant Cherki is from the mark. Limited remaining fixtures, Manchester City’s settled attacking patterns, and Cherki’s rotation role all constrain further accumulation. Only an unprecedented late surge in the final fixtures could alter the outcome, yet current form and schedule position make that scenario highly improbable.
