Jeremy Doku: Stade Rennes star reveals holding talks with Klopp & Mane about Liverpool

Jeremy DokuStade Rennes wonderkid Jeremy Doku says he held talks with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool when he was a teenager.Doku was one of the most sought after teenagers during his time at Belgian side Anderlecht.Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona were credited with an interest in the budding attacker.According to the Belgian-born Ghanaian descent, he spoke with a number of people from Liverpool, including Sadio Mane.”I was going to be 16 and that was the age you can sign a pro contract. A lot of teams came to see me,” Doku told Ouest-France.”Everyone talks about Liverpool because it was the most concrete interest but there was also Arsenal and Chelsea.”I was able to discuss with Jurgen [Klopp], Mane, [Georginio] Wijnaldum [Steven] Gerrard too. I talked a lot with Mane but we didn’t really talk about football. We talked about everything.He told me that I was young, that I still had time he wasn’t trying to convince me or to say to me ‘come here, you will succeed.”I preferred to be careful. I know what my trajectory had to be. That’s why, at 15, I told myself it had become serious, because I’d seen my career. I know what route I needed to take and I knew at that moment I needed to stay at Anderlecht.”As soon as I’m asked if I regret it, I always say no, because if Liverpool came to me at 15, if they like me, they’ll come back later, that’s certain. It’s up to me to be play well.”
