Manchester City are eyeing a January move for Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake.

The Mirror says the Dutchman is already being watched by Tottenham and Manchester United, and now Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are considering a move.

Ake has established himself as one of the finest young defenders in the Premier League since joining the Cherries from Chelsea for £20million 16 months ago.

He had spent the first six months of the 2016-17 season on loan at the Vitality Stadium and continued the impressive form he showed during that period after making the switch full-time.

Guardiola, who has been watching Ake since he signed for Bournemouth, considered a move for the player in the summer.
