Manchester City have officially completed the signing of Algeria international Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Softfootball reports that the Premier League champions have added the left-back to their squad as Pep Guardiola continues to strengthen his defensive options.
Ait-Nouri established himself as an important player at Wolves after arriving in England and developing into one of the league’s promising full-backs.
The defender’s pace, technical ability and attacking qualities made him an attractive option for Manchester City. His versatility also gives Guardiola another player capable of contributing both defensively and in possession.
City confirmed the transfer in an official announcement, bringing the Algerian’s time at Wolves to an end. Ait-Nouri now faces the challenge of competing for a regular place in one of the strongest squads in European football.
The move also represents another significant step in Ait-Nouri’s career after several seasons of Premier League experience. Guardiola will hope the defender can quickly adapt to City’s possession-based style and tactical demands.
For Ait-Nouri, the transfer provides an opportunity to compete for major domestic and European honours. The Algeria international will now begin preparations for his new challenge at the Etihad Stadium.
City supporters will expect the new signing to make a strong contribution as the club prepares for another demanding campaign.
