Man City star Jeremy Doku acquires citizenship with Ghanaian passport

Belgium international and Manchester City star Jeremy Doku has officially become a citizen of Ghana after receiving his passport.

The 23-year-old was born in Antwerp to Ghanaian parents but represents Belgium on the international stage.

Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, revealed that the passport issuance was at the personal request of Doku and his family during a visit last week.

The winger has already met Ghana’s Sports Minister, Kofi Adams, and the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, along with his wife and family at the Manhyia Palace during his stay in Ghana.
