Nathan Ake will be staying at Manchester City after his move to Chelsea fell through.
The defender played an important role for Pep Guardiola last season, filling in at left-back where has played at various times in his career. He memorably made a goal-line clearance against Arsenal on New Year’s Day prior to Rodri’s last-gasp winner as City went on to win the league by a point.
He also did a job against Antoine Griezmann against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. However, he is not the answer Guardiola is looking for amid his left-back shortfall.
