A dynamic winger is developing for Manchester City but he needs to stay fit | OneFootball

One player for Manchester City who can both dazzle and frustrate is Jeremy Doku. We have seen that in Manchester City’s past two matches against Liverpool and Tottenham. Against Liverpool, Doku was brilliant up against Trent Alexander-Arnold as he gave the England international a torrid time at the Etihad. But his end product was lacking. Last night against Ange Postecoglou’s side in City’s 1-nil win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Doku had that end product. He was arguably man-of-the-match for Manchester City in City’s win last night.

But what Jeremy Doku’s past two performances have shown is that he is developing as a player. As we saw last night against Tottenham his end product is getting better. He picked up an assist for Erling Haaland’s 12th-minute winner in Manchester City’s win. But he should’ve had a hat trick of assists a poor finishes from Savinho and Erling Haaland cost him that honour. Despite this, it was clear that Doku’s overall game is developing. If his decision-making continues to improve, he has the potential to be one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League.

Speaking after his team’s precious win Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Doku’s performance. Speaking with Football on TNT after the game he said: “He’s a threat, in the final third he’s good, made an incredible assist in the first-half. In football when one players dribbles against another player, you open the space, everything.”

If Jeremy Doku can stay fit he could become an even more dangerous proposition.

The key for Jeremy Doku to further develop his game is staying fit. So far this season he has made only 25 appearances in all competitions. If he can stay fit, his game will develop further. That’s been an issue throughout Doku’s career to date. If he can get his body right the sky is the limit for what Doku can achieve as a player.

We saw Jeremy Doku’s development as a player last night during City’s win over Tottenham. Now if he can get his body right and stay on the pitch consistently, he could further develop as a player. That is a dangerous proposition for City’s opponents and it has to be something that Doku and Manchester City’s fitness staff strive to achieve.
