Pep Guardiola was unsure about his Manchester City tactics and team selection vs Brighton, with three positions causing him more food for thought than usual.
Jeremy Doku backed to become ‘one of the best in the world’ at Man City
01.10.2023 - 19:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City maverick Jeremy Doku has been tipped to develop into one of the world’s best footballers.
That is according to Belgian legend Paul Van Himst, who won eight league titles at Anderlecht before managing the club in the 1980s. Regarded as the biggest club in the country, Anderlecht is also where Doku plied his trade before joining Rennes three years ago.
Doku is already turning heads at City following his big-money move in the summer. Few knew much about the 21-year-old when Etihad chiefs forked out £55million and, given the talent at Pep Guardiola’s disposal, many questioned where the winger would fit in.

But several explosive performances have silenced those doubts, with Doku also viewed as one for the future. An impressive showing against West Ham United last month convinced many that the wideman can become a Premier League entertainer for years to come.
Not only that but Anderlecht legend Van Himst believes Doku can go further and become a leading talent in world football. While still young, the City winger has already earned 16 caps at international level.
“I have known him since he was young because he played with my grandson at the under-16 or under-18 level,” the 79-year-old told Belgian outlet Voetbal Krant. “He is terribly fast. What is good for him is that he is an individualist.”
“But now that he left for Manchester City, he will learn to play in a team. Because at City, if he plays two games and doesn’t give the ball much, the others won’t give him the ball either. In a year’s time, I think he will be one of the best players in the world. He has so many qualities.”
