Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has expressed his deep longing to rediscover his Ghanaian roots by planning a visit to the country of his parents in the near future.
Born to Ghanaian parents, David Doku and Belinda Doku, Jeremy Doku opted to play for Belgium instead of Ghana.
However, despite representing Belgium internationally, Doku maintains a strong bond with his Ghanaian heritage.
In a recent interview with SuperSport, the player disclosed that he is fluent in Twi and has a genuine appreciation for Ghanaian music, cuisine, and dance.
“I am also a Ghanaian because my parents are Ghanaians, and I speak Twi. I have been there once, so I have to go there again,” the winger said.
“I like the way they dance, they talk, and the music. My parents go back often, and I haven’t gone back yet, so I have to go,” he stated.
While his professional commitments demand careful attention to his diet, Doku confessed his deep affection for the Ghanaian dishes lovingly prepared by his mother.
“Now I have a chef; it’s not healthy for a footballer to eat a lot, but when I go home, my mom prepares it for me,” the former Stade Rennes player said.
Since joining Man City, Doku has featured in 25 matches, scoring 3 goals with 7 assists.
