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

Manchester City has officially announced that Belgian winger Jeremy Doku has signed a new five-year contract, securing his future at the Etihad Stadium through to 2031. The 24-year-old attacker arrived from Stade Rennais in 2023 and quickly became a key figure in City's lineup.

Doku's Impact and Commitment

Since joining, Doku has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous wide players, blending explosive speed with impressive technical skill. His performances have made him an integral part of a squad dominating English football. This new contract places him alongside other stars like Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, and Abdukodir Khusanov, who also renewed their commitments this summer.

"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."

Looking Ahead Under Enzo Maresca

The extension is a positive sign as the club embarks on a new chapter under manager Enzo Maresca. The Italian coach aims to build his attacking strategy around Doku’s unique abilities and blistering pace. Doku expressed excitement about Maresca’s style and the club’s direction.

"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. 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 Growth

Director of Football Hugo Viana praised Doku’s professional development and his importance to the team.

"Jeremy is a huge talent whose improvement since joining us in 2023 is clear for all to see. 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. Jeremy is also a fantastic person. He is someone 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 continue his improvement in the coming months and years."

Doku’s Record-Breaking Start at City

Doku’s debut season was remarkable. He made history against Bournemouth by becoming the youngest player in Premier League history to record four assists and five goal involvements in one match. Over 40 appearances that season, he contributed six goals and 11 assists, helping City claim their fourth straight league title.

Even when the 2024-25 season presented challenges for City, Doku remained a dependable performer, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists, while showing greater maturity and defensive effort. By the 2025-26 campaign, he had become indispensable. In Pep Guardiola’s final year, Doku played a key role in winning a domestic cup double, including delivering the equalizer and setting up Nico’s winner in the FA Cup semi-final versus Southampton.
