“Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family,” said Jeremy Doku, reflecting on his move to the Premier League giants.

Doku, who joined Manchester City from Rennes in the summer of 2023 for a transfer fee of £55.5 million, is under contract until 2028. Since his arrival, he has made a notable impact, scoring 17 goals and providing 32 assists in 116 matches.

His performance has caught the attention of several clubs, with Atletico Madrid expressing interest in signing the young winger. This interest comes as Doku is reportedly seeking assurances about his long-term role at Manchester City.

In August 2023, West Ham United made a verbal offer of £20 million for Doku, but he opted to join Manchester City, influenced by the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola.

After a month sidelined due to injury, Doku made his return to the starting XI during an FA Cup match against Newcastle, further solidifying his place in the squad. He has started 66 games for the club since his transfer.

“I am a young player with so much learning and improving to do. Working with Pep and his staff, and playing alongside these world-class players, will make me a much better player,” Doku added, emphasizing his commitment to growth at Manchester City.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact size of West Ham’s verbal offer and the outcome of the ongoing discussions between Doku and Manchester City this summer.
