with the departure of Riyad Mahrez direction Saudi Arabia, the ‘cityzens’ are lacking in nerve in the bandand it is that the Algerian was a life insurance for the Catalan coach in stuck match situations. Doku is an ideal replacement for these functions.

The 21-year-old is a nightmare for defenders. It has all the characteristics to make anyone who gets in front of it have a bad afternoon, and in the French league he has already shown that he can break the best lines in the competition. your skills remind those of a young Ousmane Dembéléwhich coincidentally also stood out in the Rennesframe in which it was formed.

Jeremy, natural right-handedhas an amazing ability to use both legs when he faces his rival, something that has characterized Dembélé throughout his career. This quality gives Doku a very wide range of dribbling, something that he knows how to take advantage of thanks to his intelligence in the game.
