Jamie Carragher reacts to Manchester City's £41m deal for Nathan Ake

Jamie Carragher has questioned Manchester City's decision to sign another left-footed centre-back Nathan Ake. The Citizens' defence has struggled a lot, following Vincent Kompany's quit from the club and Aymeric Laporte's long-term injury. And now, as Pep Guardiola is eager to improve the squad, City have reportedly agreed on signing Bournemouth defender with a £41million deal, and the transfer will be completed in the upcoming days. However, when speaking on club's transfer decision, Carragher revealed he is not convinced that Ake has the right characteristics to play alongside Laporte. He wrote on social media: "I like Nathan Ake and I think he will suit Man City. But with Laporte a guaranteed starter I’m not convinced two left-footed centre-backs works?I know right-footed players play together but it never feels right the other way round to me! Left back or a back three? Is Laporte injury prone or he just had a bad injury? There is a difference. If Laporte is fit he plays! I just think it’s interesting to see how Pep gets Ake into the team when Laporte is fit!"
