Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola will be deploying newly
signed defender Nathan Ake as midfielder at some point.
Ake was signed to bolster City’s central defensive options,
but the player hinted that the manager also plans to use him further up front.
Ake joined the former Premier League champions from
Bournemouth in a £40m deal this summer.
Ake has played his football so far in the centre of defence
for Bournemouth, Chelsea and his other loan clubs, with a few games at
left-back.
He has also, on a handful of occasions, played in defensive
midfield, which is presumably the third position Guardiola referred to.
Speaking to Voetbal International, Ake said: “Then it was
about [the fact] that I can play in multiple positions. They are happy with
that and they told me that. I think it’s a bonus that I can play football in
three positions.
“I think we had a good conversation with each other. There
was a warm feeling that felt good right away.“
