Manchester City has confirmed the signing of Jeremy Doku from Stade Rennais on a long-term deal.
The Citizens confirmed the signing of the Belgian international on Thursday, August 24, 2023. The 21-year-old winger becomes the third signing of the summer transfer window, following the Croatian duo Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.
Doku confirmed that it was an easy choice for him to join Manchester City following the club’s performance last season.
“This is a great day for me, both personally and professionally, Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family.
I am a young player with so much learning and improvement 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. Watching City last season was amazing. To win the Treble is the hardest thing in football and they did it. You cannot imagine how exciting it is to be joining this team. I cannot wait to get started. Hopefully, I can make the fans happy.”
Doku went on to make 92 appearances across all competitions for Stade Rennais, registering 12 goals and 10 assists to his name.
