There is certainly no shame in not being a rജegular starter for City✤. And Ake is a player with a lot of quality.

Virgil van Dijk previously labelled his countryman ‘‘. And he iꦗs someone City paid more than £40 million to sign just two years a🦩go.

Tottenham are still looking to siꦯgn a left-sided centre-back. They have, so far, had no luck with 🎀the likes of Alessandro Bastoni or Josko Gvardiol.

Ake would fill the void. H🙈e is excellent in possession, as you would expect from a centre-back in Guardiola’s squad. And you would imagine that he would be well suited to playing alongside Cristian Romero and Eric ൲Dier in a back three.

Much may depend on how much City actually want for Ake. Reports have previously suggested that his asking price could be £50 million.

Anꩲd Spurs are hoping to close the gap to them this year, which may impact the price. But he could certainly be a very smart signing♕ if there is a deal to be done.
