Yahoo Sports’ early Premier League picks put Cherki and Brighton in focus
The outlet names Rayan Cherki best player so far and Fabian Hurzeler best manager, while questioning Tottenham’s costly summer rebuild.
Yahoo Sports has published a deliberately early assessment of the Premier League season, naming Manchester City’s Rayan Cherki its best player so far and Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler its best manager. The selections are the outlet’s own awards, not official league honours.
Yahoo Sports cites Cherki’s five goal involvements in 306 minutes, including two assists against Bournemouth and two goals against Crystal Palace. The article describes the 23-year-old as a standout performer.
Hurzeler’s Brighton are third heading into the international break, according to the report. They beat reigning champions Arsenal 3–0 and eliminated Manchester United from the League Cup during the same week. Brighton also lead the league with 16 goals and a +11 goal difference.
The assessment recognises Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet and Leeds United’s Tarik Muharemovic as young players to watch. It also singles out Lewis Dunk’s goal and Jordan Pickford’s opening-weekend save.
Yahoo Sports names Tottenham its biggest disappointment, citing a reported club-record £334 million summer spend on new signings. The supplied article ends during its account of the club’s situation, leaving its full reasoning unavailable.
