Jeremy Doku honours Asamoah Gyan by mimicking the Ghana legend’s famous celebration

Jeremy Doku paid tribute to Ghanaian football icon Asamoah Gyan by mimicking the veteran striker’s signature celebration during Wednesday night’s Premier League match.

The Belgian-born Ghanaian helped Manchester City secure a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, marking the team’s first victory since October.

After a difficult stretch that included six losses and one draw in their last seven matches, City began December on a positive note, energizing the home fans at the Etihad Stadium.

The team quickly established a 2-0 lead within the first 31 minutes, and Doku capped off the evening with a goal in the second half.

In a video that circulated on social media, Doku can be seen performing Gyan’s iconic celebration, stirring nostalgia for the celebrated player known for his exuberant post-goal dances.

Gyan is regarded as one of Ghana’s greatest footballers, and Doku’s homage served as a meaningful acknowledgment of the striker’s enduring influence.

Doku, who had come off the bench against Liverpool on Sunday, made a significant impact in this match, not only scoring but also assisting the second goal.
