Scout report
N. Aké is a 31-year-old full-back at Manchester City, rated 32.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 348th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aké.
Judged on this season alone, Aké graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 1.792 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 55th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 31 Aké is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 17.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.8, Aké carries the 55th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
