Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Jeremy Doku from Rennes on a five-year contract.
The Belgian winger is one of the best dribblers in European football and he has chosen to make the next step in his career.
Doku was linked with Chelsea and West Ham United earlier this summer, but he has eventually chosen to join the Cityzens.
He told the club’s official website: “This is a great day for me, both personally and professionally. Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family.”
The youngster has become the Cityzens’ third acquisition of the summer transfer window after Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.
The Premier League champions are not finished yet in the transfer market and they are looking to add another midfielder to the ranks.
The club were initially on the verge of landing Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United, but the deal broke down over betting charges.
City are now looking at the prospect of signing Matheus Nunes from Wolves. Their opening bid of around £40m has been rejected.
