Manchester City are reportedly in the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, according to the Telegraph.
City are looking to refresh their squad after a disappointing season marred by poor form and injury troubles.
They were beaten by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final yesterday, ending their hopes of winning silverware this season.
The lack of success has forced the club to start planning for reinforcements.
One of the positions under review is the left-back role, and Ait-Nouri has now emerged as a strong option.
The Algerian international has played an important role for Wolves this season under manager Vitor Pereira.
Ait-Nouri impresses Man City with attacking quality
Ait-Nouri has featured as a left-back and also played further forward on the left wing when needed.
The 23-year-old has scored five goals and registered seven assists in all competitions this season.
His pace, movement and attacking runs have made him a real threat, especially when Wolves look to break quickly.
Manchester United are also interested in Ait-Nouri as they search for a new left-back.
Transfermarkt values him at €35 million, making him a cost-effective option for the Manchester giants.
In addition to the left-back role, City are expected to focus on strengthening their midfield options.
Man City’s failure to meet expectations has created pressure to make the right moves in the summer window.
With their proven ability in the transfer market, the club will be keen to secure targets early and avoid last-minute deals.
Ait-Nouri could be one of their key additions as they rebuild for another title charge.
