Doku has consistently delivered moments of individual brilliance that have justified the club’s investment. His debut campaign was nothing short of historic, highlighted by a legendary performance against Bournemouth where he became the youngest player in Premier League history to record four assists and five goal involvements in a single match. That season, he made over 40 appearances, contributing six goals and 11 assists to help City secure their fourth consecutive league title.
Even during the more challenging 2024-25 season, which saw City face various hurdles, Doku remained a reliable outlet. He finished that term with eight goals and nine assists, showing an increased level of maturity and defensive responsibility. By the 2025-26 campaign, he was essentially indispensable. Under the final year of Pep Guardiola’s reign, Doku was pivotal in securing a domestic cup double, notably providing the equalizer and an assist for Nico’s winner in the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
