Jeremy Doku transfer news: Who is Rennes winger set for Manchester City?

Manchester City are close to completing the £55.4m signing of winger Jeremy Doku - but what kind of player are they getting?

The 21-year-old, who has 16 caps for Belgium and came through the ranks at Anderlecht before joining Rennes in 2020, is moving to the Premier League after three injury-hit years in France.

He takes the place of Riyad Mahrez, who moved to Saudi club Al-Ahli for £30m.

Since the start of last season he has completed more dribbles per 90 minutes than anybody in Europe's top five leagues.

"With his speed, power and technical ability he is custom-made for the Premier League," says Belgian journalist Claudo Reulens.
