This is part of his team of the week analysis. The last line is just typical! They uncovered a gem apparently. Nothing to do with the 4 seasons for us in the PL
Nathan Ake (Manchester City): I saw this lad play for Chelsea as an 18-year-old protege. He looked capable of having a career in the game but had a lot of work to do if he intended to be a top-class defender, an international or even play for the best team in Europe and that was no doubt why Chelsea let him go. The fact the Dutchman has now achieved all of the above tells you just how hard he has worked. The way he took two players out of the game and then delivered the perfect pass for Erling Haaland to finish against Liverpool was quite brilliant. This is yet another indication of the quality of Manchester City's recruitment process. City didn't pay a fortune for him but still managed to uncover a gem.
