Nathan Aké Scout Report

Nathan Aké's current campaign with Manchester City showcases a defender who masterfully blends meticulous ball retention with an exceptional ability to carry the ball progressively. His style of play is defined by an impressive pass accuracy and an enviable knack for maintaining possession, allowing City to pivot smoothly from defence to attack. Aké stands out with his ability to move the ball forward, ranking impressively high among his peers in progressive carrying and passing. However, his aerial prowess leaves much to be desired, with a lower success rate in aerial duels proving to be a noticeable weak spot. Likewise, while he's skilful at retaining the ball, his capacity for ball recovery isn't as sharp, which can be a concern, especially given the high standards of Premier League play. On the whole, Aké is a robust, possession-oriented defender whose rarity of fouls complements City's tactical setup even if there are occasional defensive lapses. His penchant for operating from deep in the midfield third supports City's attacking framework, although he could strengthen his defensive resolve to further bolster his all-round contribution to the team.
