THEIRRY HENRY has warned players must “pray” if they come one-on-one with Manchester City’s new signing Jeremy Doku.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed Doku’s medical is taking place today for City.
Back in 2020 the Belgian international signed for the French giants Rennes for £22m.
The 21-year-old scored 12 goals in 92 appearances for Les Rennais.
His success at Roazhan Park earned him to be selected for Belgian’s 2022 World Cup squad.
French legend Henry sees Doku as a valuable winger and a great threat on the pitch.
Henry coached Doku when he was assistant manager of the Belgian national team.
The former Arsenal ace told Amazon Prime: “When you’re one-on-one with him, there’s only one thing left to do… pray.
“Rarely in my life have I seen a player come out of a dribble so quickly. It is extraordinary.”

The winger will become City’s third major signing of the summer after Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea for £25m and Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for £77m.
Doku has come in to replace ex-City ace Riyad Mahrez who has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli for £55m.
The former World Cup and Euro champion worked with Doku during his short spell as assistant manager for the Belgium national team.
With wise words from one of the greatest strikers of all time the Belgian international must be a great fit for Guardiola’s squad.
The Spaniard in the past has done remarkable work with young wingers such as Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane and is now set to do the same with Doku.
