The gifted French playmaker was at his bewitching and beguiling best across a month that saw City win all seven games in all competitions.
Cherki it was whose dramatic late strike secured a priceless 2-1 victory away at Nottingham Forest in what was our final match of the 2025 calendar year.
The 22-year-old also served up a magnificent player of the match display in an impressive 3-0 home win over Sunderland in what served as his finest performance yet since joining City from Lyon last summer.
His spellbinding performance that day was capped by a quite stunning rabona cross that picked out Phil Foden who headed home our third goal.
