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.

Still not fully recovered
Ait Nouri (ankle) has still not fully recovered from his injury and remains out for Sunday's derby against Manchester United after not joining Algeria for international duty, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference.
ANALYSIS
Ait Nouri is still dealing with an ankle injury and has been ruled out for Sunday's derby against Manchester United. The left back didn't join the Algerian squad for international duty in order to recover, but with Josko Gvardiol back in team training, the medical staff might be cautious with him to avoid aggravating the issue. Once fully fit, Ait Nouri is expected to reclaim his spot in the backline.

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.
