Ake agrees personal terms with Man City

Nathan Ake has reportedly agreed personal terms with Manchester City ahead of a £41million switch from Bournemouth.

Pep Guardiola is closing in on his man after targeting the Dutch centre-back as a top target to add to his defensive resources.

And the path has cleared for the City boss after Chelsea decided not to exercise their option to match the offer for their former player, according to talkSPORT.

Ake would be City’s second signing of the summer already after a £37m deal for Valencia winger Ferran Torres was confirmed on Tuesday.

Torres is regarded as one of the most exciting wingers in Europe and was a highlight in Valencia’s otherwise disappointing LaLiga campaign.
