His style was unanimously acclaimed in France, as he was voted Ligue 1's best dribbler this past season, a new award from the LFP.
Speaking to Téléfoot, Zidane was asked about the art of dribbling and he believes Cherki deserved this new trophy.
"It's good that he won, because he had a great season and he deserves it," the former Real Madrid coach said.
With eight goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1, Cherki also finished as Ligue 1's top passer.
