2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ait-Nouri heads to Manchester City with decent expectations after he was their first signing of the summer from Wolverhampton. He'll likely open as a left-back with tons of range to sit in the attack to rip shots and crosses. At Wolves last season, he had four goals and seven assists in 37 starts, numbers that seem a little too difficult to replicate given that he won't be as big of a focal point. Still, he'll be primed for more clean sheets and offers tons in the attack as a defender, so the upside is evident as long as the starting minutes are there.

Remains out Saturday
Ait-Nouri (ankle) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri will not be part of the squad for Saturday's match against the Toffees as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. The left-back trained this week but isn't yet ready for a return to action. His comeback appears close, and he may rejoin the squad in the coming fixtures.

Spurs keen on him
Tottenham are interested in signing Ait-Nouri, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham will need to pay around £40 million to secure the signing of the 23-year-old Algeria defender in the summer. However, they're not alone on the race for his services. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are all keen on the Wolves full-back as well, so there could be a bidding way for his services in the coming months.
