JEREMY DOKU'S old coaches are amazed at his Manchester City success – believing he was lazy and not good enough for a European giant.<\/p>\n

But now they reckon the \u00a355million summer arrival from Rennes can become the "best player in the world".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Belgium winger, 21, has notched three goals from 13 games in his first season in England, as well as five assists in nine Prem matches.<\/p>\n

But Antwerp-born Doku angered bosses during eight years at Anderlecht.<\/p>\n

Benoit Haegeman, the Belgians' youth-team coach, said: "Jeremy didn't like to run, didn't like to defend and didn't like to use the fitness room.<\/p>\n

Jan Verlinden, Doku's educational advisor at Anderlecht, added: "His greatest quality was 'dare and repeat'. <\/p>\n

"Even when he would lose the ball he would try the same action again – sometimes to the great annoyance of his coaches.<\/p>\n

"But a lot of foreign clubs, such as Liverpool and Chelsea, then began to follow his progress.<\/p>\n

"Romelu Lukaku made a film in which he tried to convince Jeremy to complete his education with Anderlecht.<\/p>\n

"I don't see why he can't go on to become the best player in the world.\u00a0 Anything is possible with him."<\/p>\n
