English Premier League champions Manchester City have agreed a £55.5m deal to sign Rennes winger Jeremy Doku, who is is expected to travel to the northwest on Tuesday to undergo a medical.

The Belgium international has been linked with a number of Premier League teams this summer and is now set to join the champions.

 

Manchester City are looking for a winger to replace Riyad Mahrez, who left for Saudi Arabia in the wake of City's treble-winning season.

 

Doku will become Pep Guardiola's third summer recruit in this transfer window, after Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.

 

He scored for Rennes in their opening Ligue 1 game against Metz, following on from the six league goals he netted last season.

 

Doku was born in Antwerp to Ghanaian parents and has made Belgium his international home. He has capped in 16 games and scored two goals for the Red Devils of Belgium.
