Three players Manchester City could sign in the January transfer window

Nathan Ake

Netherlands international Nathan Ake has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League since moving to Bournemouth – initially on loan – in 2016.

As well as a return to Chelsea, The Sun have linked the 24-year-old with a £40million move to Man City in the new year.

The champions have struggled at the back following the summer exit of Vincent Kompany and injury to Aymeric Laporte so a swoop for Ake would make sense.
