Manchester City forward Jeremy Doku, who joined the club for £55.5 million in August, has made a significant impact in his debut season under Pep Guardiola. The Belgian international has scored 13 goals and impressed as a substitute in recent fixtures against top teams like Real Madrid and Chelsea. Doku’s performances have caused issues for defenders across the Premier League and Europe.

During a recent training session, Doku was stopped by 17-year-old academy star Rhys Thomas, who plays as a right-back for Manchester City’s Under-18 Premier League team. Thomas reportedly ‘amused’ teammates with his ability to shut down the talented Belgian winger, showcasing his excellent technical ability. Despite being young, Thomas has already made seven appearances in the Under-18 Premier League and is highly regarded by the club for his skills on the field.

Doku made his Manchester City debut in September and has since become a key player for the team, scoring crucial goals and making an impact in important matches. His signing was a significant one for the club, as they beat out other top-flight English clubs to secure his signature. The 21-year-old’s impressive performances have garnered attention and praise from fans and teammates alike.
