Manchester City have confirmed the signing of wide forward Jeremy Doku from Rennes.
90min understands that City have agreed a fee of €65m (£55m) including add-ons for Doku's services, and the player has now officially put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.
Speaking to the club's official website after making the move, Doku expressed his delight: "This is a great day for me, both personally and professionally.
"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 and his staff, and playing alongside these world class players, will make me a much better player. I feel sure of that.
"Watching City last season was amazing. To win the treble is the hardest thing in football and they did it. You cannot imagine how exciting it is to be joining this team. I cannot wait to get started. Hopefully I can make the fans happy."
Man City's director of football Txiki Begiristain hailed Doku's "raw" attributes in the press release announcing the deal: "Jeremy is a very exciting young player and I’m so pleased he’s joining us.
"In terms of raw attributes, he has everything a winger needs. He has outstanding pace and he is exceptional in one-on-one situations. I honestly believe working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him develop into a world-class attacking talent."
Doku may make his debut for his new club this weekend when they take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday.
