Jeremy Doku Commits to Manchester City with New Five-Year Deal

Manchester City has confirmed that Belgian winger Jeremy Doku has signed a five-year contract extension, securing his presence at the Etihad Stadium through 2031. This move arrives as the club prepares for a new chapter under manager Enzo Maresca.

Doku's Growing Role at the Etihad

The 24-year-old arrived from Stade Rennais in 2023 and quickly became a key player in City's attack. Known for his rapid pace and skillful play, Doku has become one of the Premier League’s most dangerous wide players. His contract renewal adds him to a group of top talents, including Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, and Abdukodir Khusanov, who have all recently extended their commitments to the club.

"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," Doku shared. "I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling."

Excited About Maresca's Vision

Doku expressed enthusiasm about playing under new manager Enzo Maresca, who aims to build his attacking style around the winger’s speed and skills. He said, "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."

He also highlighted the support from the fans as a major factor in his decision to stay: "The City fans are also a huge reason I have signed this new contract. I feel their love and support, and it means the world to me. I want to focus on bringing them the success they deserve."

Club Praise for Doku's Development

Hugo Viana, Manchester City's Director of Football, praised Doku’s growth since joining in 2023. He emphasized both the player's skill and character within the squad.

"Jeremy is a huge talent whose improvement since joining us is clear for all to see. He has a special dynamic and the right characteristics for what we want in a winger. He brings a unique quality to our team," Viana said. "He is also a fantastic person, loved across the club. His attitude is first class, and he wants to improve every single day. He deserves this new deal, and I know he will keep progressing in the years ahead."

Doku's Impact Since Joining City

Since his arrival, Doku has delivered memorable performances, including a record-breaking game against Bournemouth where he became the youngest player in Premier League history to record four assists and five goal involvements in one match. During his debut season, he made over 40 appearances, contributing six goals and 11 assists, helping City claim their fourth straight league title.

Even in tougher seasons like 2024-25, Doku remained a dependable figure, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists while showing greater defensive responsibility. By the 2025-26 season, he was essential to the team, playing a crucial role in securing a domestic cup double, notably assisting in the FA Cup semi-final win against Southampton.
