Signs with Manchester City Ait-Nouri has completed a transfer to Manchester City from Wolves, according to his new club.

Impact Ait-Nouri has long been linked to a move to Manchester City, and the deal has finally gone through after he passed his medical. This comes after the defender started in all 37 of his appearances with Wolves last campaign, notching 11 goal contributions from the left flank. He is City's first signing of the summer and is likely to secure minutes immediately. However, this could force some changes in the squad, with Josko Gvardiol possibly moving centrally while Nico O'Reilly, Nathan Ake and Ait-Nouri battle for time on the left side of the defense.

This would lead him to 11 goal contributions this campaign, showing a great two-way display from his role on the left flank. He is a player who holds value on both sides of the pitch and now appears to be set for a higher-level club, with the likes of Manchester City bidding for his services and seeming likely to get the deal done soon and sign the 24-year-old.

He should remain a starter for the final few games of the season, last missing a start Feb. 9 and bagging three goal contributions since then.
