Guardiola admits Doku has surprised City since £55m transfer

Jeremy Doku's ability beyond his dribbling has taken Pep Guardiola and Manchester City officials by surprise this season.

"He has surprised all of us, " Guardiola said. "He reads every action what he has to do and his quality close to the box. We always talk about that to try and dribble and go because it is difficult to find a player today with the ability to dribble in small spaces. "He creates something for the crowd. When he takes the ball everyone gets excited - me too. Today Erling played 45 minutes and didn't score and we were able to score six goals. It's really good.

Still, Guardiola predicts that Doku can get even better, adding that he can still improve when playing on the right wing rather than the left. He also explained how a pep talk after his first outing at the Etihad against Fulham saw him kick on and make the impression he has done.
