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 place at the Etihad Stadium through 2031. The 24-year-old attacker remains a key part of the club’s future as they enter a new chapter under manager Enzo Maresca.

A Strong Bond with the Club

Doku arrived from Stade Rennais in 2023 and quickly became one of the Premier League's most explosive wide players. Known for his blistering speed and technical skills, he has cemented himself as an essential figure in a squad that continues to dominate English football. His new contract puts him alongside other stars like Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, and Abdukodir Khusanov who have recently committed to the club.

"I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling," Doku said. "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. It’s hard to explain just how much this club does to help players."

Building Around Doku in the Maresca Era

The extension comes as Enzo Maresca takes charge, with plans to base his attacking style around Doku's unique pace and talents. The Belgian winger expressed excitement about the tactical approach and the team’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."

High Praise from Club Leadership

Hugo Viana, Manchester City’s Director of Football, praised Doku’s rapid development and his impact on 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 Premier League Impact

Since arriving, Doku has consistently delivered standout performances. His debut season included a historic match against Bournemouth where he became the youngest player in Premier League history to record four assists and five goal involvements in a single game. That campaign saw him make over 40 appearances, scoring six goals and assisting 11, contributing heavily to City’s fourth straight league title.

Even in the tougher 2024-25 season, Doku remained dependable, finishing with eight goals and nine assists while showing greater maturity and defensive effort. The 2025-26 season was pivotal; under Pep Guardiola’s final year, Doku helped secure a domestic cup double, notably scoring the equalizer and assisting in the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
