A right-winger known for his explosive pace and trickery, Doku began his professional career with Belgian side Anderlecht before moving to Rennes in 2020.

He went on to score 12 goals and register 10 assists in 92 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit, while at international level he has been capped 14 times, scoring twice.

Speaking on the transfer, City director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “In terms of raw attributes, he has everything a winger needs…I honestly believe working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him develop into a world-class attacking talent.”

Doku becomes the third summer arrival at the Etihad Stadium after Mateo Kovačić and Joško Gvardiol, and could make his debut when City travel to face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday.
