Jeremy Doku signs new Man City deal, commits to Etihad until 2031
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has signed a new five-year contract with the club, extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2031. The deal, confirmed on 13 August, ties one of the Premier League's most electrifying wide players to City through to the end of the decade.
The Player and the Deal
The 24-year-old Belgium international arrived at Manchester City from Stade Rennais in 2023 and has since carved out a reputation as one of the most dynamic attackers in English football. Across 131 appearances for the club, Doku has scored 22 goals, operating across both flanks and in more central positions, underlining his versatility.
His best campaign to date came in 2025/26, when he made 47 appearances and contributed 8 goals and 14 assists as City lifted both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. A standout moment arrived in the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton, where Doku scored the equaliser before assisting Nico's late winner in a 2-1 victory.
What Doku Said
'I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling. This club means so much to me. I have developed as both a player and a person. I feel settled here, and I know I am improving every day because of the work the staff here do,' Doku said after putting pen to paper.
He also pointed to new head coach Enzo Maresca as a source of excitement: 'With Enzo here now, I am really excited about the new season. His style of football is the kind we love, so that's exciting for the players. The City fans are also a huge reason I have signed this new contract. I feel their love and support, and it means the world to me. I want to focus on bringing them the success they deserve.'
Trophy Haul and Impact
Since joining, Doku has been part of a Manchester City side that has won five major trophies — the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and the Community Shield. His debut season alone saw him register 6 goals and 11 assists in more than 40 appearances as City secured a fourth successive Premier League title.
International Standing
Doku has also cemented his place on the international stage, earning 48 caps for Belgium and helping his country reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The contract renewal arrives at a point where his club and international profiles are both at their peak.
What Comes Next
With the new deal in place, Doku will continue his development under newly appointed manager Enzo Maresca, whose attacking, possession-based philosophy is expected to suit the winger's pace and directness. City fans will be hoping the contract signals further trophy ambitions ahead of the 2025/26 season and beyond.
