I am a young player with so much learning and improving to do. Working with Pep and his staff, and playing alongside these work-class players, will make me a much better player," Doku said as quoted from the City's official website. 
"I feel sure of that. Watching City last season was amazing. To win the Treble is the hardest thing in football and they did it. You cannot imagine how exciting it is to be joining this team. I cannot wait to get started. Hopefully, I can make the fans happy," Doku added. 
The young Belgian winger will be looking to fill the void left by the Algerian winger Riyad Mahrew, who left the club earlier this month to sign for Al Ahil in the Saudi Pro League. (ANI)
