Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Chelsea are interested in signing Nathan Ake, with Thomas Tuchel a big fan of the player.
Tuchel is in the market for defensive players following the exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen at the end of their contracts. Cesar Azpilicueta has also been linked with a move away from west London.
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is the priority target in that position after a deal fell through last summer. But Italian outlet Gianluca Di Marzio says Ake is also on Tuchel’s list of targets.
According to latest updates from journalist Nathan Gissing, via his Twitter page, Chelsea boss Tuchel is keen to re-sign Nathan Ake from City, with the German tactician said to be a big fan of the player.

Ake still has three years remaining on his City contract and there is no mention of how much the Etihad club would sell him for.
This season, a vital goal against Leeds United and one remarkable goal line clearance against Arsenal were notable highlights from a much-improved second season.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“There’s no point in selling him especially to a rival. He’s a quality player that can start for us if given a chance. We shouldn’t be entertaining these links..”
