Cherki recently joined City from Lyon, and Clichy believes he has the potential to replace Kevin de Bruyne, who left for Napoli this summer.

Clichy praises Cherki's skills, saying he is one of the best players he has seen, and that he has the ability to create danger in tight spaces.

However, Clichy also notes that Cherki needs to improve his ability to perform without the ball, an area where he struggled in France and is also perceived to be weak in England.

Clichy believes that if City's coach Pep Guardiola can help Cherki develop this aspect of his game, he will become a valuable asset to the team.
