Man City winger Doku signs five-year contract extension

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has committed his future to the Premier League club by signing a five-year contract extension, which will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2031. Since his arrival from French club Rennes in 2023, the 24-year-old has become a key player, scoring 22 goals and providing 34 assists in 131 appearances. His contributions have helped City secure multiple titles, including the Premier League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, and League Cup. Doku has also earned 48 caps for Belgium. The extension is a significant boost for new City manager Enzo Maresca as the Premier League season approaches on August 21. Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola, has influenced Doku's decision. "I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling," Doku stated. "This club means so much to me – I have developed as both a player and a person. I feel settled here, and I know I am improving every day because of the work the staff here do." He added, "With Enzo here now I am really excited about the new season. His style of football is the kind we love, so that’s exciting for the players." City's director of football, Hugo Viana, praised Doku's talent and dynamic qualities. "Jeremy is a huge talent whose improvement since joining us in 2023 is clear for all to see," Viana said. "He has a special dynamic. He has the right characteristics for what we are looking for in a winger. He really does bring a special quality to our team. He deserves this new deal, and I know he will continue his improvement in the coming months and years."
