Opinion: Man City’s new signing Nathan Ake could be as influential as Vincent Kompany

With Vincent Kompany and now David Silva having left the club, Manchester City are about to embark on a new adventure.

What’s happened?

Having missed out on the Premier League title and knocked out of the Champions League by Lyon at the quarter-final stage, manager Pep Guardiola has not wasted any time in making his move in the transfer market.

Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake was brought in for £41m to try and fix up some of the defensive frailties that have been present over the past 12 months, with the Citizens having lost nine games in the league and finishing 18 points behind eventual winners Liverpool, as per BBC Sport.
