DONE DEAL: Jeremy Doku 'eager to learn from Pep' as he signs for Man City

Manchester City have completed the signing of Rennes attacker Jeremy Doku.

Doku moves to City for a fee of €60m and has penned a five-year contract.

"This is a great day for me, both personally and professionally. City are the best team in world football, so joining them is special," Doku said.

"I am a young player with so much learning and improving to do.

"Working with Pep (Guardiola) and his staff, and playing alongside these world-class players, will make me a much better player. I feel sure of that.

"Watching City last season was amazing. To win the Treble is the hardest thing in football and they did it. You cannot imagine how exciting it is to be joining this team. I cannot wait to get started. Hopefully I can make the fans happy."

City sporting director Txiki Begiristain said: "Jeremy is a very exciting young player and I'm so pleased he's joining us.

"In terms of raw attributes, he has everything a winger needs. He has outstanding pace and he is exceptional in one-on-one situations.

"I honestly believe working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him develop into a world-class attacking talent."
