Though born and raised in Belgium, Jeremy has always felt closely tied to the West African nation.
In a past interview, he spoke fondly of Ghana, saying, as quoted by Zed Multimedia:
“I am Ghanaian also because my parents are Ghanaian. I also speak Twi. I’ve been there once. I have to go back again because it’s been a long time ago I went there. I like Ghana, I like the way they dance, I like the way they talk, I like the music.”
Jeremy Doku arrives in Ghana after Club World Cup show
Doku’s trip comes after a gruelling season with Manchester City, capped off by his participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Although City bowed out in the round of 16 after a thrilling 4-3 loss to Al-Hilal, the tricky winger still managed to impress, netting two goals in three appearances, per Transfermarkt.
Having played deep into the summer, Doku was granted an extended break by manager Pep Guardiola.
And he's making the most of it, not just by resting, but by reconnecting with the people and culture that shaped his identity.

While enjoying his time in Ghana, Doku remains mindful of the season ahead.
He is expected to rejoin the Citizens in time for their pre-season duties. Up first? A friendly clash with Italian side Palermo FC on August 9, where the two sides will contest the inaugural Anglo-Palermitan Trophy.
