New Manchester City signing Manuel Akanji has been revealed as a maths genius who says he 'knows calculations by heart' and would practice with the numbers of car registration plates.
City boss Pep Guardiola praised £15m central defender Akanji for his speed on the pitch as he welcomed him to the Etihad Stadium as the club's sixth major signing of the transfer window.
But it appears the Swiss international, 27, is equally as quick with complex mental arithmetic - as he showed and explained on live TV back in 2018. Akanji, who has arrived at City on a five-year deal from from Borussia Dortmund, appeared on a German entertainment show titled 'Wetten, dass?' where his talent was put to the test.
