Jeremy Doku is set to join Manchester United, after Manchester City agreed a £55.5million deal with Rennes for the Belgian winger. Doku, 21, will undergo a medical in the north-west over the next 48 hours before signing a five-year deal with City.
The talented youngster was highly sought after following an impressive Ligue 1 campaign last term, scoring six goals and netting on the opening day of this season. Pep Guardiola is reportedly keen on Doku for his direct style of play and his ability to take defenders on in a one-on-one.
The move will make Doku City's third signing of the summer, after Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol. Guardiola is also still looking to add to his midfield, as Kevin De Bruyne is out for at least the next three months.
City had agreed a deal with West Ham for Lucas Paqueta, but it's unclear if the club will go ahead with the transfer. Mikel Arteta praised Declan Rice after Arsenal managed to cling on to a win against Crystal Palace, but it's still unknown whether the Gunners will make a move for the midfielder.
