Jérémy Doku’s Bio & Wiki Overview
Jeremy Doku was born in Borgerhout, Antwerp, Belgium, to former athletes David Doku and Belinda Doku. His family consists of four other children, with him being the second-born. They originated in Ghana, a West African country.
If their children could focus only on schooling and their football career while growing up in the second-largest town in a nation plagued by crime and trafficking, their parents must have done a decent job.
His residence was just a few meters away from the Bosuil stadium, which may have aided his football career, and his brother Jefferson was also a player. He is 1.71 meters tall and weighs 69 kg.
