Manchester City issues big check for Ligue 1 star

Manchester City are close to completing a £51m deal to sign talented Belgian Jeremy Doku from Rennes.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal to sign Doku, having agreed a £51million fee for the Rennes winger. He has already agreed personal terms with the club and is now set to undergo a medical this week before signing off on the deal.

Doku has been at the center of a transfer saga this summer, having been targeted by Chelsea and West Ham. However, he has made it clear that he only intends to join the Etihad Stadium, and it looks like the transfer is now close to being finalized.

The 21-year-old is a full Belgium international, with 14 caps, and has made 92 appearances for the Breton club, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists.

Doku is likely to replace Riyad Mahrez, who joined Saudi club Al-Ahli in the summer.
