Top-tier talent? Manchester City's new signing Scherqi has already scored 7 goals and provided 10 assists this season, contributing to a goal every 78 minutes—highly efficient.

Manchester City lost De Bruyne and Gündoğan this season, but Guardiola appears to have worked wonders on a budget, finding fresh attacking inspiration for the Blues. In the League Cup semifinal match, City's two key new arrivals scored goals, winning 2-0 away at Newcastle and taking a strong step toward the final. In this game, winter signing Semenyo scored again to give City the lead, while summer signing Scherqi came off the bench to net the decisive goal.

Scherqi, 22 years old, stands 1.77 meters tall, is proficient with both feet, primarily plays as an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a winger. Valued at 50 million euros by Transfermarkt, he is contracted with Manchester City until 2030. Since joining City this season, Scherqi has been highly effective, appearing 28 times across all competitions, starting 15 games, totaling 1,332 minutes, scoring 7 goals and assisting 10. He has contributed to a goal every 78 minutes for Manchester City.

At just 22, Scherqi has already earned playing time at Premier League giants Manchester City and is an attacker capable of both creating and scoring. City signed this young French talent last summer for only 36.5 million euros, a relatively modest fee in the Premier League. Looking back, securing Scherqi for just over 30 million euros was a great value deal—such a high-quality player would be hard to buy even at double the transfer fee!
