Jérémy Doku

Doku's dribbling relies on a burst of acceleration over the first two or three yards, which most full backs cannot match even when they know it is coming. He drives directly at a defender rather than looking for space around them, inviting the challenge and then getting past it with pace alone. His end product has grown alongside that dribbling, with a low, driven cutback becoming his preferred way of finishing a run.

The question with a dribbler this direct is whether a packed defence eventually takes away the space he needs to build speed. Teams increasingly double up on him with a full back and a tucked in winger, daring him to beat two players instead of one. Watch whether he starts cutting inside onto his stronger foot more often, since that would suggest defenders have worked out how to slow him.
