Man City agree £55.5m deal to sign Belgian winger Jeremy Doku from Rennes

Manchester City have agreed a £55.5m deal to sign Rennes winger Jeremy Doku.

The Belgium international has been linked with a number of Premier League teams this summer and is now set to join the champions.

Man City are looking for a winger to replace Riyad Mahrez, who left for Saudi Arabia after City’s treble-winning season.

Should Doku complete the move to the Etihad Stadium, he will become Pep Guardiola’s third summer recruit in this transfer window, after Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.

Doku scored for Rennes in their opening Ligue 1 game against Metz, following on from the six league goals he netted last season.
