Mancheter City Completes Signing Of Jeremy Doku From Rennes For £65M

Premier league champions, Manchester City have completed the signing of Belgium winger, Jérémy Doku from French club Rennes for £65 Million.

As announced by the club on thursday, Doku has put pen to paper on a five year contract at the Ethihad stadium.

The belgian becomes city’s third signing of the summer and replaces Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez, who departed on a transfer to Saudi Pro League side, Al Ahli earlier this summer.

“Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family,” Doku told the Man City website.

“I am a young player with so much learning and improving to do. Working with Pep and his staff, and playing alongside these work-class players, will make me a much better player. I feel sure of that.”

Doku scored 12 goals in 91 games for Rennes since arriving from Anderlecht in 2020.

On the international level, he has been capped 14 times by Belgium, scoring twice, and was part of the squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
