Manchester City have completed the signing of winger Jeremy Doku from Rennes in a £55.5m deal. The talented Belgium international has agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League champions.
The 21-year-old is being viewed as a potential successor to Riyad Mahrez, who recently moved to Al Ahli for £30m.
Doku had been linked with Premier League teams, including West Ham who had a bid rejected for him.
“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.”
Manchester City has signed an ex-Anderlecht player, making him their third major summer signing. This brings City’s total spending to £163.1m, along with the arrivals of Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic.
