Everton are reportedly eyeing a late transfer for Manchester City defender Nathan Ake as the deadline looms.
The 30-year-old, known for his versatility at both centre-back and left-back, has emerged as a key target for manager David Moyes.
The move comes as Everton faces a defensive injury crisis, with key players Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaly Mykolenko sidelined.
Ake’s potential departure from City is influenced by the recent arrival of left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and manager Pep Guardiola’s expressed desire to trim his squad.
Ake has been a major part of City’s success, winning 10 trophies since joining in 2020. Everton, who have already signed Jack Grealish from the reigning champions, are hoping to secure the Dutch international to bolster their backline.
