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.

Hopes to be back Sunday
Ait-Nouri suffered an apparent ankle injury in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Tottenham but coach Pep Guardiola hopes he can be available for Sunday's clash against Brighton. "I didn't speak with the doctors yet. It looks like his ankle. We have seven days, hopefully he can recover."
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri was forced off early in Saturday's defeat against Spurs after suffering an ankle sprain in a challenge. The Algerian tried to continue but it was too painful for him and he likely left the pitch as a precaution. City now have seven days before the clash against Brighton on Sunday, leaving some hope about the presence of Ait-Nouri in the match squad. That said, if he has to miss the game or start on the bench, Nathan Ake is expected to start in the backline in his place.

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.
