Jeremy Doku has been acquired by Manchester City at £55 million from Rennes.
One of the greatest prospects for speed in European football is the 21-year-old standout from Belgium.
After Riyad Mahrez was lured away by the Saudi gold rush, Pep Guardiola turned his attention to Doku.
And after Doku, the king of the dribble, signed a five-year contract at the Etihad, City have finally secured their man.
The superstar scored seven goals in 35 games for Rennes last season after making his professional debut at age 16 with Anderlecht.
Doku, who was previously connected with Liverpool, may find that City’s trip to Sheffield United on Sunday is too soon.
