Jeremy Doku, the talented Belgian footballer currently plying his trade at Rennes, has attracted the attention of numerous renowned clubs.

Now 21 years old, Jeremy Doku was born in Antwerp, Belgium, but has Ghanaian roots. He began his football journey at the age of 10 when he joined the youth academy of Anderlecht, one of Belgium’s most prestigious clubs. Doku’s rapid progress saw him earn a promotion to the club’s first team during the 2018/19 season. At the tender age of 16, he made his debut on November 25, 2018, in a Belgian league match where Anderlecht suffered a 2-4 defeat against Sint-Truiden.

Since joining Rennes in October 2020, Jeremy Doku has showcased his talents and made a significant impact. The Belgian winger arrived at the club for a transfer fee of 26 million euros and signed a 5-year contract. Over the course of three seasons with Rennes, he has steadily proven his abilities on the field.

In the current season, Doku has been a consistent presence in the Rennes lineup, featuring in all 35 matches across various competitions. He has contributed 7 goals and 4 assists, with impressive performances in Ligue 1. In the league alone, the 21-year-old has played 29 matches, starting in 13 of them, and has scored 6 goals while providing 2 assists. His statistics demonstrate his effectiveness on the pitch, with an average of 1.47 shots per 90 minutes, 30.14 accurate passes (87.04% success rate), 1.89 key passes, and an impressive 6.59 successful dribbles.

One of Doku’s standout attributes is his exceptional dribbling skills. Despite his relatively shorter stature, he possesses excellent agility and a low center of gravity, allowing him to make quick turns and maneuver effectively in tight spaces. His ability to maintain balance while executing swift movements makes him a constant threat to opposing defenses.

Doku is also a very versatile player. Under manager Bruno Genesio, he can play on both sides of midfield in a 4-1-4-1 system, or as a winger in a 4-3-3 formation, and sometimes even in the center of aттack. However, it is when he plays wide, especially on the right wing, that Jeremy can fully showcase his superior qualities.

Specifically, this season in all competitions, he has been ranked as a right midfielder by Mr. Genesio on 10 occasions. And those are all very impressive matches for Jeremy Doku, with a total of 5 goals, 4 assists, and spectacular dribbling techniques.

However, the weakness of this player lies in his limited aerial combat ability, lack of strong defensive support, and a relatively low success rate in crosses. Doku also rarely attempts long passes, preferring to coordinate in small groups with his teammates.

Before leaving Anderlecht and choosing Rennes as a destination, Jeremy Doku was once paid special attention by the big three Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal. In particular, Liverpool have flirted with the Belgian player since 5 years ago, when he was only 16 years old. At that time, Doku may not have felt mature enough to be ready to move to a big team like The Kop, although he had a friendly conversation with Sadio Mane – the star at Anfield at that time.

And now, after harsh bumps in Ligue 1 and cup tournaments in Europe, Jeremy Doku probably doesn’t want to miss an opportunity like that again. The media also recently reported that Liverpool have resumed contact with the Belgian national player.
