Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has revealed his ambition to score more 'easy tap-ins' akin to those regularly netted by former City star Raheem Sterling. The Belgian international, who opened the scoring in City's recent win over Brentford, has already equalled his best goalscoring season but admits his current tally lacks simple finishes.
Doku, known for cutting in from the left and curling efforts into the top corner, told Sky Sports: 'When I look at my goals, all the goals this season, I don't see one tap-in. And when I look at Raheem Sterling and his seasons at Man City, all the tap-ins that he scored, at least five, six, seven a season.'
The 22-year-old acknowledged that while he enjoys scoring 'top goals', he wants to improve his positional sense to be at the back post for easy finishes. 'I want to score also those goals where I just tap-in, second post, run in and tap-in, and it just adds more goals to my account,' he added.
Sterling was a prolific scorer for City, netting 79 times across three seasons including a career-best 31 in 2019/20. Doku, who has yet to hit double figures in a single campaign, believes adding simple goals will boost his tally as City chase Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
