Following his most successful season to date, Nathan Ake has signed a new Manchester City contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027.

The 28-year-old was a mainstay in Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning defence last term, appearing on 41 occasions and scoring three goals.

Ake, who joined from Bournemouth in 2020, has played both at centre-back and at left-back – providing Guardiola with plenty of versatility along the backline.

“I also want to thank the City fans for their support. I have really felt it since I came here, and it helps me so much. My focus now is on making them proud and winning more trophies.”
