A promising player with a bright future.
To fill the void left by Riyad Mahrez, Jeremy Doku was a crucial acquisition for Manchester City. The team is still desperately trying to fill another midfielder position to close the transfer window. Wolves rejected a preliminary offer for Matheus Nunes. According to reports, City is making a push to sign a contract with the Portuguese international before the transfer window closes. But signing Doku was a more crucial objective, regardless of what transpires in the end.
With Rennes in the French top division, the Belgian winger attracted attention. He was the club’s most expensive signing when he moved to France in October 2020, and he has steadily developed since then. With 12 successful dribbles in a single game, he currently holds the record in the French top division. The fact that the previous record holder was a certain Brazilian superstar named Neymar Jr., who successfully completed 11 dribbles in a game back in 2020 while still playing for Paris Saint-Germain, may make the record all the more amazing.
Doku joins City at a time when the club really needs a winger. After Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling left, the team was left without a quick winger who could aid in breaking down defenses, open up opportunities for teammates, and score goals.
After Riyad Mahrez left earlier in the summer, City was forced to take action, especially since the team needed reinforcements for the upcoming season. The Belgian is not only replacing Mahrez; his speed, dribbling skills, and creativity make him a very valuable asset going forward.
He is prepared to jump right into the team because he had a strong start to the season, scoring for Rennes in his first start of the year. Prior to the match against Sheffield United, City’s assistant manager affirmed the player’s readiness.
Txiki Begiritstain, the director of football for City, has, however, given the player the greatest amount of support. The quick winger was praised by a City executive, which helps to explain why the team signed him.
Begiristain said of the new addition, “Jeremy is a very exciting young player and I’m so pleased he’s joining us. I think under manager Pep Guardiola he can become a world-class winger.
“He has all the essential qualities a winger needs in terms of raw attributes. He plays with incredible pace and excels in one-on-one situations.
“I genuinely think he will become a top-tier attacking talent working with Pep and the technical staff here at City. “.
The player has also expressed his eagerness to take the field and demonstrate his abilities for the team. He will undoubtedly put up great performances while wearing the City jersey, judging by his track record. The only issue is his history of accidents.
In his second season with Rennes, he only made 14 appearances overall and only four starts. This was as a result of recurring injuries that kept him out for the majority of the season.
This presents a challenge for the City medical staff to keep him in top shape and ready to go when needed. That ought to be very doable given that last season, Erling Haaland was successfully coached to play the most games he had played in a single season in a number of years.
