Man City sign Belgian winger Doku from Rennes

Manchester City signed Belgian winger Jeremy Doku from French club Rennes on a five-year deal on Thursday.

Doku, 21, will reportedly cost the European champions £55 million ($70 million).

“This is a great day for me, both personally and professionally,” Doku said in a City statement.

“Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family.

“I am a young player with so much learning and improving to do. Working with Pep (Guardiola) and his staff, and playing alongside these work-class players, will make me a much better player.”

Doku scored 12 goals in 92 appearances for Rennes after making his breakthrough as a teenager with Anderlecht in his homeland.

He becomes City’s third signing of the transfer window after Croatian international duo Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.

The treble winners were in the market for a winger to replace the departed Riyad Mahrez, who joined Saudi side Al-Ahli.

City are also expected to add a midfielder before the window shuts on September 1 to cover the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to miss up to four months due to a hamstring injury.

Wolves’ Matheus Nunes and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze are reportedly targets after interest in West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta collapsed due to a Football Association investigation into a possible breach of betting regulations by the Brazilian.

Dear Students, Today’s unfortunate disruption of the SUG election stands as yet another reflection of the deeper issues facing not just our campus, but our nation at large. This is the real reason why the system of government in Nigeria keeps failing  because we continue to rely on an outdated system that cannot take us to the promised land. Sadly, this same flawed struture is still being practiced by the so-called Jagaban and his government, and now, the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are facing the consequences. No long talk. 🧢 Here is the Circular Letter and you need to know 👇 We must renew our mindset. We must rise above the broken foundation of the past if we truly want a better future. Believe me when I say: this is the very root of what it means to "govern" — and if we, the youth, do not fix it now, who will? If you’re demanding change as a student, then let us unite — as future Presidents, Governors, Generals, Kings 👑, and Queens 👑 of this great country 🇳🇬. United ...

  A Message of Gratitude and Clarification from Usman Okai Austin I sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support. Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience. For those who couldn’t visit in person, your messages and protests spoke volumes. Your voices sent a strong message, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.

I remain committed to the values of justice, accountability, and good governance. My experience has only strengthened my resolve to stand with the people and fight for what is right.
