Was asking if he was any good, because his stats aren't. His stats will be much better feeding Haaland kind of player you like to watch, take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Stade Rennais had put their asking price for Jeremy Doku up to more than €80m amid interest from Chelsea and Tottenham - but, the player only wanted to join #ManCity and had no interest in moving to any other club - enabling City to negotiate a fee of €65m, as per @SamLee .

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Manchester City are delighted to confirm the signing of Jeremy Doku from Stade Rennais on a five-year deal. The 21-year-old Belgian winger becomes our third signing of the summer transfer window, following in the footsteps of Croatian duo Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol who joined the club earlier this summer. Comfortable operating on either flank, Doku has emerged as one of the most exciting and highly rated young wingers operating in the European game. A Belgian international with 14 senior caps to his name so far, Doku has operated with distinction in both the Belgian and French top flights as well as boasting Champions League experience to boot as well. @Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Jeremey Doku has made the move to Manchester City from Stade Rennais accompanied by handsome praise from such formidable footballing figures as Kevin De Bruyne, Thierry Henry and Kylian Mbappe to name but a few. The exciting 21-year-old Belgian winger has signed a five-year deal with the Club, penning a contract that will take him through to the summer of 2028. And despite tender years, it’s fair to say Doku has already made a notable impression on his peers and respected senior figures within the game. Belgian international colleague and now new City team mate De Bruyne for one made plain his admiration after witnessing Doku register his first international strike on only his second appearance for the Red Devils during a 5-1 win against Iceland back in November 2020. “He is nimble, fast and he can dribble,” said De Bruyne. “Of course, he sometimes makes a mistake, but who doesn’t? He is a diamond in the rough.” Former Belgium national manager Roberto Martinez was the man who afforded Doku his international bow back in 2020. And after naming the youngster in his Belgium squad for the EURO 2020 tournament, he described Doku as "an exceptional talent who is very strong one on one.” Martinez then re-emphasised his praise and admiration for the player ahead of last winter’s 2022 World Cup finals where Doku was again part of the Red Devils’ squad, saying: "When I talk about him, I have to smile. “He's one of those players who can bring magic to his game.” Former Arsenal and France legend Thierry Henry, who served as assistant to Martinez during his time in charge of Belgium, also got to appreciate Doku’s talent first hand. And he was equally complimentary about the player’s skills sets and natural talent. Speaking in April of this year, Henry described Doku as ‘extraordinary’. “Rarely in my life have I seen a player come out of a dribble so quickly, extraordinary. Now, injured, not consistent, does he replace himself? We are harder on players like that. If he is good, he is really impregnable.” France and Paris Saint-Germain talisman Kylian Mbappe knows all about Doku’s ability first hand having come up against him on several occasions in Ligue One. And speaking with France Football back in 2021, he was hugely complimentary about Doku’s quality – not least his blistering pace, one of the standout qualities of his game. https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/in-praise-of-jeremy-doku-manchester-city-63828491 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
