Rayan Ait-Nouri
24-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
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.

Bench option
Ait-Nouri (ankle) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Villarreal.
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri is returning from his injury Tuesday, finally fit again after an absence dating back to the September international break. This is huge news for the club as they gain back their regular starter at left-back, starting through the first three games of the season. However, he will have to comepete wirh Nico O'Reilly, who has seen success since taking over the left-back role.
