Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has been in impressive form during the Euro 2024 group stage for Belgium, making a total of 26 dribbles. This achievement makes him the player with the most dribbles in the group stage since Franck Ribery’s 32 dribbles at Euro 2012. Doku’s exceptional performance helped Belgium secure their spot in the round of 16, where they will face the world champions, France.
In his first season at Manchester City, Doku had a successful run, scoring seven goals and assisting in 10 others across all competitions under Pep Guardiola’s guidance. His international form at the Euros comes as no surprise considering his strong performances at the club level. Doku’s skill and speed on the field have been evident, with a total of 162 dribbles attempted in the English top-flight last season, ranking him at the top for City players, followed closely by teammate Phil Foden.
While Doku’s dribbling prowess has been impressive, he falls behind West Ham midfielder Mohammed Kudus in the Premier League, who made a total of 216 dribbles. Nonetheless, Doku’s contributions on the field have not gone unnoticed, and his performance at the Euros has solidified his reputation as a talented winger to watch. With the upcoming clash against France in the next phase of the competition, Doku will have the chance to showcase his skills on a bigger stage against top-tier competition.
