Very successful since his arrival at Manchester City, Jérémy Doku has been praised by Pep Guardiola.
Recruited for 65 million euros by Manchester City this summer, Jérémy Doku (21 years old) does not seem affected by the pressure of such a transfer. Directly aligned as a starter by Pep Guardiola, the former Rennais was quick to show the extent of his qualities. Hard-hitting, explosive and very fair on his left side, the Belgian international already brings a real plus to the Cityzens and has a string of good performances, he also scored his first goal in his new colors last Saturday against West Ham.

A rare profile
Enough to further seduce his coach, who did not hesitate to praise him and to dare to make very flattering comparisons with former Manchester City wingers, whose profiles are becoming increasingly rare in modern football , with its main quality as its top speed. “I would say the wingers we’ve had in the past weren’t that type of wingers. They had incredible skills and qualities, but they weren’t as fast. The speed we had with Raheem Sterling, we didn’t have in the past. Even Cole Palmer, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, they of course have speed, but they rely above all on their technical quality, their intelligence of the game, their counter-attacks. Jérémy Doku is explosive. With his speed, he has qualities similar to Leroy Sané and Raheem Sterling”launched the Spanish technician.
Proof of his confidence and admiration for his new player, he is once again starting on the front of City’s attack this Saturday against Nottingham Forest, against whom he hopes to shine again.
