MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Manchester City signed Algeria left back Rayan Aït-Nouri from Wolverhampton for a reported fee of 37 million euros ($42 million) on Monday.
City has been deploying center backs Nathan Ake and, more recently, Josko Gvardiol at left back in recent seasons but now has a specialist option in Aït-Nouri, who is a very attacking full back.
The 23-year-old Aït-Nouri joined Wolves from French team Angers in 2020.
His contract at City runs to 2030 and he will be available for the new-look, 32-team Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday.
City is in the same group as Juventus, Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca and its first match is on June 18.
