The 22-year-old is in his seventh season as a pro, but is showing no signs of slowing down.
“When I was young, my role model away from football was my dad. I wanted to make him proud,” he stated about his Ghanaian upbringing to club media.
“Making my parents proud and my whole family proud is what makes me proud. I want to make the name Doku more globally known than it was before.
“Seeing everyone I love proud and seeing people recognise me and saying my name in a good way, that is amazing for me.
“There’s always pressure, today you’re good and tomorrow you can be bad but that’s part of the job.”
