In this episode of Football For Kids, we tell the incredible story of Bryan Mbeumo and follow his football journey from the very beginning. We discover how he started playing football in France, developed through the Troyes academy and made his breakthrough as a teenager before taking the huge step of moving to England to join Brentford. We’ll hear about Brentford’s famous “BMW” attack with Mbeumo, Ollie Watkins and Saïd Benrahma, the heartbreak of losing at Wembley, the joy of finally reaching the Premier League and how Bryan developed into one of the division’s most dangerous attacking players. There’s also his international story with Cameroon, including playing at the FIFA World Cup and being part of the Cameroon team that produced an unforgettable victory over Brazil. Then came injuries, setbacks, improvement, goals and a brilliant 20-goal Premier League season before one of the biggest moves of his career: Manchester United and Old Trafford. It’s a story about talent, determination and constantly trying to get better. From Avallon to Troyes. From Brentford to the Premier League. From Cameroon to Manchester United. This is the story of Bryan Mbeumo. ⚽🔥 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices -
🇫🇷 ⚽️ 🚀 RAYAN CHERKI: THE TWO-FOOTED FOOTBALL GENIUS! 🇫🇷 🔥 ⚡️ 22.09.2026 18m🎥 CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/footballforkids?srsltid=AU7gw4Ujku7pNss_BBXpuUczYhaYsm1ic4VyOgK48jGkFyjCN5RqMHuE ⚽️ RAYAN CHERKI: THE TWO-FOOTED FOOTBALL GENIUS! 🇫🇷🔥 Is Rayan Cherki one of the most naturally gifted footballers in the Premier League? In this episode of Football For Kids, we tell the incredible story of Rayan Cherki, the Manchester City and France star who has been amazing football fans with his skills, tricks, creativity, goals and assists since he was a kid. Cherki is not your ordinary footballer. Left foot? Brilliant. Right foot? Brilliant. Dribbling? Ridiculous. Passing? Sometimes it looks like he can see things on a football pitch before everybody else! But the story of Rayan Cherki is about much more than football skills and highlight videos. We go right back to the beginning and discover how Cherki joined the famous Olympique Lyonnais academy at just seven years old, before quickly developing a reputation as one of the most exciting young footballers in France. You’ll hear about his incredible rise through the Lyon academy, becoming a UEFA Youth League goalscorer at only 15, making his senior breakthrough as a teenager and producing an unforgettable performance against Nantes when he scored twice and created two more goals. And he was still only a kid! We follow Cherki through the pressure of being labelled a football wonderkid, the criticism he faced, the moments when people questioned whether his incredible natural ability would ever turn into consistent performances and the work required to become an elite professional footballer. Then came a huge 2024/25 season. Goals. Assists. Europa League performances. France recognition. And suddenly, some of the biggest clubs in world football were watching. We explore Cherki's journey with France, including winning an Olympic silver medal, before looking at the moment his career took another enormous step... His move from Lyon to Manchester City. Cherki arrived in England in the summer of 2025 to join one of the biggest football clubs in the world, taking Manchester City's famous number 10 shirt and beginning his adventure in the Premier League. We look at what makes Rayan Cherki different, why being genuinely brilliant with both feet is such a huge advantage, how his creativity can unlock a defence and why players who try something unusual sometimes have to accept that it will not work every single time. Because this is also a story about something every young footballer can learn from. Talent is a fantastic starting point. But talent still needs hard work. Cherki had incredible ability from an incredibly young age. His challenge was learning how to combine that freedom, imagination and skill with the consistency and discipline required at the very highest level. And perhaps that is what makes his journey so fascinating. The tricks never disappeared. The imagination never disappeared. He simply had to learn how to use them better. So whether you support Manchester City, follow the Premier League, love watching France, remember Cherki at Lyon, or simply want to learn about one of the most skilful and entertaining footballers in the world, this episode is for you. 🎧 Football For Kids brings football stories, player biographies, Premier League episodes, football history, quizzes, facts and incredible sporting journeys to young football fans around the world. Can you get 5/5 in the Rayan Cherki quiz at the end of the episode? Listen now and discover the story of Rayan Cherki: Manchester City star, France international, Lyon wonderkid and one of football's most exciting two-footed talents. ⚽️🔥🇫🇷 Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen AD Free: https://www.patreon.com/c/Footballforkids Premier League 2025/26 season review for kids and families! In this Football For Kids Classic episode, Darren Rees looks back on one of the wildest Premier League seasons ever, full of champions, shocks, relegation drama, record breakers and emotional goodbyes. Arsenal are Premier League champions again after 22 long years! We look at how Mikel Arteta’s side finally brought the title back to North London, with David Raya winning the Golden Glove, Viktor Gyökeres scoring important goals, and Arsenal turning corners into their secret football superpower. But while Arsenal celebrated, other clubs suffered heartbreak. West Ham United were relegated despite beating Leeds United on the final day, Burnley dropped straight back down, and Wolves finished bottom after a miserable season. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, survived by the skin of their teeth after a nerve-shredding final-day win over Everton. We also explore the players who made Premier League history: Erling Haaland winning another Golden Boot, Bruno Fernandes breaking the single-season assist record, and Fulham vs Manchester City producing a bonkers nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage. And then come the goodbyes. Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 incredible years. Bernardo Silva says farewell. Mohamed Salah waves goodbye to Liverpool after becoming one of Anfield’s greatest ever heroes. This is a fun screen-free football podcast episode for kids, parents and Premier League fans of all ages. Joy, heartbreak, goals, drama, trophies, trapdoors and goosebumps.
