Manchester City formalized this Thursday the arrival of Belgian striker Jérémy Doku from Rennes.
After three seasons at Stade Rennais, Jérémy Doku (21) officially joined the ranks of Manchester City on Thursday.

A recruitment that raises questions on the side of France. Jérôme Rothen having expressed reservations about the ability of the native of Borgerhout to acclimatize to the game and the philosophy of his new club.
