Manuel Akanji's impressive start to life at Manchester City continued on Thursday when he was voted Etihad Player of the Month for October.
City supporters headed to ManCity.com to cast their votes, with 45% voting for Akanji. Ederson came second with 37% and Nathan Ake finished third in the poll with 18%.
Akanji was a last-minute purchase for City at the end of the transfer window, the kind of deal the Blues have famously stayed clear of ever since Pep Guardiola took charge in 2016. However, when injuries to Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake and John Stones left the boss with just one senior centre-back option a few weeks into the season, City dipped into the market and snapped up Akanji for a modest £15m fee.
