Doku had been linked with a number of Premier League teams this summer, with West Ham having a bid rejected for him earlier this month.
“Manchester City are the best team in world football, so to be joining them is something very special for me and my family,” Doku told the Man City website.

- “Doku is absolutely rapid and beats players for fun. His stats in terms of goals and assists maybe aren’t where they could be but under a coach like Pep Guardiola you assume they will only get better. He has almost limitless potential.
“It’s a lot of money but you can understand why Manchester City feel he is the man to bring in.
“He’s a different kind of attacking player that Guardiola has at his disposal as he’s very quick and is a bit of a throwback winger. He can play on the left and on the right, where he is likely to feature more often for City.
“As a predominantly right-footed player he’s not someone who would then cut in field. He’s more about beating a full-back on the outside an getting to the byline to provide he cut-backs. He’s bring a pace, a directness and a dribbling ability that City don’t have in their squad currently.”
