With Nathan Ake set to leave Manchester City this summer, Newcastle United are just one of the teams that have been linked with a move for the Dutch defender.
Ake joined City back in 2020 from Bournemouth, who were managed Eddie Howe at the time. The centre-back also played in the same team as Newcastle hitman Callum Wilson.
Reports suggest Newcastle could emerge as one of the front-runners to sign Ake this summer - and it's clear the player and Howe have a solid relationship.
