It has been reported that Pep Guardiola was not a fan of how Jeremy Doku performed during his Manchester City debut against Fulham.
While the treble-winners ran riot during a 5-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium, the Catalan tactician was far from satisfied after watching the £55.5 million (Sky Sports) in action for the first time in sky blue.
As Manchester City new-boy Jeremy Doku struggle to impose himself against Fulham, Pep Guardiola was clearly cognizant of this fact, according to a report by The Athletic journalist Sam Lee.
Sam Lee: Pep Guardiola was ‘not happy’ with Jeremy Doku debut against Fulham
Branded as ‘outstanding’ by Danny Murphy, the Belgian winger has gone on to set the world alight since then.
With two goals and five assists in the Premier League so far, the 21-year-old has shown that he has all the makings of a world-class player in the future.
However, it has been revealed that not just Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola but even Jeremy Doku was ‘not happy’ after his debut against Fulham.
While the youngster did show signs of his electric dribbling and frightening pace, his touch was quite sloppy and he was ineffective on both flanks.
Jeremy Doku must have won him over ever since
However, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City and the entirety of the Premier League have realised since his performance against Fulham that Jeremy Doku is a special talent.
The former Rennes wideman has looked like a natural fit in this City side, tearing defenders to shreds, showcasing that he is an athletic specimen and most importantly, improving game by game.
The balance that Doku has found between taking on his man and finding a free man when in possession since his debut proves that he is eager to better himself.
11 games into the league season, not many wingers can claim that they have outperformed the Antwerp-born talent.
