Jeremy Doku names condition to become the world's best winger
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has stated that improving his goal-scoring efficiency is the final step required for him to be considered the best winger in the world. While the Belgian international leads the Premier League in successful dribbles, he acknowledges the need to increase his output to satisfy manager Pep Guardiola and overcome the double-teaming tactics used by opponents. Interestingly, Doku also praised the exceptional pace of Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov, admitting that the Lens player might even outrun him in a long-distance sprint. As Manchester City pursues a domestic treble, Doku remains focused on transforming his elite dribbling skills into the consistent goals and assists necessary to reach the top tier of global football.
Man Siti forward Jeremy Doku has announced his ambition to be ranked among the world's top wingers. While the Belgian international is renowned for his dribbling skills, he understands that he must increase his efficiency to reach the pinnacle. Goal.com reports on this.
Since his £55 million transfer from Rennes in 2023, Doku has remained the player with the most successful dribbles in the Premier League. However, his 19 goals in 123 matches have not fully satisfied Pep Guardiola.
The manager had previously expressed doubts about Doku's goal-scoring output.
"A winger must score goals. If I score more goals, I will 100% be among the best.
Ask the defenders; they will confirm that if I start scoring goals, the situation will change completely," the player said.
Doku noted that opponents are using special tactics against him, often with two defenders marking him. He also addressed the debate regarding the fastest player in his team.
In his opinion, Abdukodir Husanov is very fast over short distances.
"Husanov's speed is known to everyone. I am confident in myself over a 15-meter distance, but in a 40-meter sprint, Husanov would probably beat me," Doku admitted.
Currently, Man Siti continues its pursuit of a domestic treble.
