In a video on Jeremy Doku’s YouTube channel, the Manchester City winger recently put his footballing desires into the starkest possible terms: ‘I want to kill my defender. I want them to have nightmares.’
With that in mind, did anyone check in on Conor Bradley this morning?
Just five days after the Liverpool full back had one of the world’s best in Vinicius Junior on lockdown at Anfield, it was Doku who left Bradley with a sleepless night.
Doku showed in City’s comprehensive win on Sunday not just how much he has improved for a player consistently lamented for his lack of end product, as his rocket into the top corner made it 3-0, but also how crucial a weapon he has become for Pep Guardiola’s new version of City.
