Jeremy Doku has a 'fantastic feeling' after signing new Manchester City contract

Jeremy Doku has expressed his delight after signing a new five-year contract extension with Manchester City.

The Premier League club announced the news on Thursday as they prepare for the upcoming Community Shield with Premier League Champions Arsenal on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Belgian winger has 22 goals and 34 assists in 131 games for the Citizens as well as Premier League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and League Cup medals.

Speaking ahead of the new season, the wide player said he is very happy in Manchester.

"I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling," Doku told his club's website.

"This club means so much to me â- 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."

City are now under the guidance of former Parma, Leicester and Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola ahead of the new campaign.

"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," Doku added.

City director of football Hugo Viana said: "Jeremy is a huge talent whose improvement since joining us in 2023 is clear for all to see.

"He has a special dynamic. He has the right characteristics for what we are looking for in a winger. He really does bring a special quality to our team.

âœHe deserves this new deal, and I know he will continue his improvement in the coming months and years.â
