Manchester City 'add Jeremy Doku to shortlist to replace Riyad Mahrez' alongside Michael Olise

Manchester City have added Rennes winger Jeremy Doku to their shortlist of possible Riyad Mahrez replacements.

The lightning-fast 21-year-old, nicknamed the Belgian Flash, has already been the subject of a rejected Aston Villa bid this summer.

He has been on Liverpool's radar at least as far back as 2017, when Jurgen Klopp told him he could be a long-term successor to Sadio Mane.

Now City have earmarked him alongside Michael Olise as a possible signing after Mahrez completed a £30million move to Al-Ahli.

That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who says he is a priority name in the corridors of power at the Etihad Stadium.
