Dutch defender Nathan Ake is reportedly no longer a first-choice option in Pep Guardiola’s setup, which has attracted the interest of Tottenham Hotspur. Sources close to the situation have revealed to CaughtOffside that Tottenham are contemplating reopening negotiations for the versatile defender. It has been reported that head coach Thomas Frank is eager to add an experienced player who can cover both centre-back and left-back positions. Aké’s adaptability and Champions League experience could prove to be a significant asset for Spurs as they aim to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season. Tottenham had shown interest in the defender during the summer transfer window, but a deal did not come to fruition.

Team Talk has reported that Tottenham is interested in signing Nathan Ake, a 30-year-old player from Manchester City. The club has engaged in discussions with Manchester City to determine the requirements for acquiring Ake, who has accumulated 236 Premier League appearances throughout his career with four different clubs. Tottenham is looking to strengthen their defensive lineup and initiated talks after their win over Manchester City. It has been mentioned that Thomas Frank is a strong admirer of the Dutch player, although the response from City to Tottenham's inquiry remains unknown. Ake's contract with Manchester City is valid until June 30, 2027, and his market value is currently estimated at €25.00m by Transfermarkt. Additionally, he has attracted interest from other Premier League teams, including West Ham United, Newcastle United, and Everton.
