Football Manager 2022: 10 Left Wingers You Must Sign
2. Jeremy Doku
Club: Rennes
Nationality: Belgian
Price: £42 million
A young rising talent in the game and one that has been on the radar of many big clubs for a few years now, previously at Anderlecht and now at Ligue 1 side Rennes, Jeremy Doku looks to be a player destined for the very top of the game.
Fortunately for virtual football managers, Sports Interactive seems to agree with that sentiment as the Belgium International is very highly rated in this year’s iteration of Football Manager.
The 19-year-old starts the game with bags of speed with 17s in both Acceleration and Pace, as well as what the kids like to call ‘skills to pay the bills’ with 16 Flair to pair with the ‘Tries Tricks’ and ‘Likes to Beat Opponent Repeatedly’ Player Traits. Doku also has plenty of room to grow as he will start your save with a Potential Ability rating between 150 and 180. Needless to say that if you get lucky and he is assigned a potential ability near the upper end of that range then you will have one of the best players in the entire world on your hands.
Rennes won’t let the young speedster leave their club without a fight, though, and a fee in the range of £42 million is likely going to be required to bring him to your club. However, despite the large fee you are getting an incredibly talented left-winger that could be the best in the game when fully developed.
