The 21-year-old will fill the void left by Riyad Mahrez in Pep Guardiola’s side and has been tipped over recent years to be one of the brightest talents in European football. The winger has been at Rennes since 2020 and has played 92 times for the French club, scoring 12 goals and assisting a further 10.
West Ham are another club interested in Doku but the Premier League champions will likely have the upper hand in the battle given their current status.
