This summer, Manchester City paid nearly 60 million euros to acquire Jérémy Doku from Rennes. The Belgian international, who had never really been able to establish himself in Ligue 1, faced a big challenge in joining the reigning European and English Champion. For its part, Pep Guardiola’s team badly needed a striking profile in attack, especially since the departure of Riyad Mahrez for Saudi Arabia. And since his arrival in the Premier League, Jérémy Doku has amazed everyone.
The 23-year-old winger walks on water and has established himself as an indisputable starter in Guardiola’s system. Author of 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 matches, Doku mainly plays full matches where he constantly disrupts the opposing defense. An essential element for his coach who explained that he was amazed by the level of his player during the day’s press conference. “He’s so young. He listens, he improves. We realize that what we suggest to him, he understands immediately. Its impact has been very, very good. The minutes he spent on the bench at the start of the competition had a considerable impact.
