This bold decision by the management is a strategic move in favor of another wide attacker—Jérémy Doku. While the Belgian’s future was in doubt during the season due to inconsistent performances, his explosive and phenomenal form in the final months completely changed the minds of the City bosses.
It’s worth noting that this season, the Brazilian winger featured in 36 matches for the Citizens across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists.
Reminder: Former Manchester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel announced his retirement from professional football.
