Jeremy Doku has said that agreeing his new Manchester City contract is a privilege, adding that he believes he is at the ideal club as he looks to win even more silverware.

The dynamic Belgian winger has signed a fresh five-year contract, which will keep him at the Etihad until the summer of 2031.

It is another major lift for City as preparations gather pace for the 2026/27 season, and it follows recent new contracts for team-mates Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol and Abdukodir Khusanov.

Doku has made a significant impression since joining City from Stade Rennais in 2023, helping the club collect five trophies during that period.

Speaking about the development, the 24-year-old said he was delighted to have committed himself to the new deal.

He also stressed that City are the perfect club for anyone aiming to add more trophies to their collection.

“I am so happy that they trusted in me first of all and that I can continue to play for this big club,” Doku said.

“I remember when I arrived here from France a bit of an underdog.

“Nobody really knew me. I had to prove myself and being able now to sign a new contract shows that they trusted me and that they appreciate how I’ve been playing.

“So now it’s just a privilege.

“I think everyone wants to play in a team that wins a lot, so I think I’m at the right place if you want to win trophies, if you want to be up there, if you want to grow as a player.

“I feel like in the last couple of years I’ve learnt so much and I’m still an unfinished product.

“So that’s why I feel like this decision has been an easy one.”

Doku’s new contract follows what was widely regarded as his best season yet at City during the 2025/26 campaign.

Jeremy contributed eight goals and 14 assists, and played a major role as City won both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

A new challenge now awaits under the management of Enzo Maresca, and from Doku’s point of view, he believes there is still plenty more to come from him as a player.

“I feel like compared to the other two seasons, [it was] more complete [last season],” Doku reflected.

“From the start to the end, obviously there is always going to be bad games, but I was more involved.

“I played more; I was more efficient. And yeah [there were] goals and assists. I feel like when I look back there was still a lot of games where I could have scored or had an assist.

“But compared to the other two seasons there has been growth, positively, every season better.

“But like I said before I feel like I’m still an unfinished project.

“When I look back, I can be happy, but I feel like I look also forward to the next seasons and to the season that is going to come now.

“I’m looking forward. I’m looking forward also appreciating what I already achieved. Appreciating that I get a chance to play for a big club like this.”
