Doku causes a sensation
When we think of Manchester City this season, the names of Haaland and Cherki often come to mind. But we must not forget Jeremy Doku who impresses and begins to make a name for himself with fans, to the point of being nicknamed the “Oku Balloon » on social networks. Although Erling Haaland remains the favorite for the individual grand prizes, Doku is showing a new level of performance with goals and assists, including a superb goal against Liverpool. His spectacular dribbling game, combined with increased offensive efficiency, strengthens his influence on the team and his credibility in the Ballon d’Or discussions. Pep Guardiola highlights the excellence of Doku and his ability to change the course of matches thanks to his technique and creativity.

All that is missing is for the Portuguese selection to win the World Cup to confirm this omnipresence in modern football.
