Manchester City have signed Dutch defender Nathan Ake from Bournemouth for a price of around £40m! The versatile centre-back has become Pep Guardiola’s latest signing ahead of the 2020/21 season. The former Chelsea, Reading, Watford and Bournemouth defender will challenge Laporte for the left centre-back spot, while no doubt providing depth in the left-back role.

Moussa Konate is a striker, the centre-half is Ibrahima Konate, sorry to be pedantic
When are they announcing David Alaba ?
I can’t wait to see the back of otamendi, guy reminds me of when we had Richard dunne and you’d close your eyes every time the ball was near him 😂
I hope he plays leftback cause a lb that can defend would be sick
I would like to see Jonathan Tah get brought in. He is tall and good on the ball.
Announce koilibaly
He cost more because he is home grown.
Manchester United
Please let’s sell Mendy & get a new LB. Grimaldo is good…
Bournemouth wouldn’t have gone down if he was fit all season
when our best defenders IN THE WORLD stones+otamendi play together they defend as a joke XD, wish ake make our defense more serious
Ferran & Ake in the bag, roll on Koulibaly!
The aerial duels stat isn't going to mean that much in the end. How often do city concede to a high cross? The biggest issue for city is defensive errors and lack of pace and he checks off both boxes.
If it was chelsea would of activated the clause in is contract
Welcome to Manchester City Nathan Ake 🔵🔵
Agree with you Steven. Definitely many more positives than negatives from this deal.
isnt he City's third signing, Pablo Moreno Ferran Torres and now him
Last City singing of Chelsea rejected is Kevin, and now Ake. Have one reason to get excited. Cmon city

Imagine if he succeeds in city like how kdb did in city and not in Chelsea, Chelsea's fans will jealous af
Bit random but what size is that kit?
Very good my God you can talk fast love it ctid
I'm glad he got picked up by a big club. He worked hard for Bournemouth and was one of the players that stood out for them. I remember one game, the one against Spurs, near the end of the 2019 season, when Bournemouth had to get one more goal to win the match. They struggled all second half to get that goal but kept failing. Ake kept trying, never gave up, and ended up scoring the wiinning goal. That game stood out for me and I never forgot how Ake kept persisting.
example pickford, when sunderland went down
Ake, Torres, and talk of Koulibaly too? What about FFP Ste? I get winning things is always great for fans but deep down does it hurt a little bit supporting a club who has just bought it's success?
Ake feels like a new Kompany idk why, I feel like hell play more first team football than we think and I'm looking forward to it
Awful signing the next mangala
I’ve played with him for the entirety of fifa 20 and if he plays as good as he dose on fifa he is balon dor bound
Finally a replacement for Kompany
I didn’t know man city had any fans
Where's your history
YEESSSSS!!!!!! Nathan Aké
Excellent squad player, but who is going to play with Laporte? No news yet on a decent left back? Any rumours on a new striker, Aguero looking old and injury prone? Also, need another slow midfielder, to go with Gundogun, Rodri and Fernandinho? Only another £150-200m needed!
