“EXCLUSIVE BOMBSHELL: Ex-Scout Who Nailed Grealish Deal Now DEMANDS Everton Raid Man City AGAIN – £80M Superstar BEGGING for January Escape to Goodison After Secret Talks!”
Everton tipped to push through a long-awaited January move for Nathan Ake.
The Netherlands international has been an important figure for Manchester City over recent seasons, but his involvement has dipped significantly this term, with only one Premier League start to his name in the 2025–26 campaign.
Everton showed interest in signing Ake during the summer window, yet the defender ultimately stayed at the Etihad Stadium, even though Pep Guardiola was open to trimming his squad.
David Moyes and his recruitment team had explored the possibility of securing the former Chelsea centre-back at the time, and it now appears they may be presented with another major chance to complete the deal when the winter window opens.
Nathan Ake a strong candidate for Everton as potential Man City departure nears
Everton are once again in a position to move for Ake in January, with the Dutch defender determined to secure a transfer ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
Crystal Palace have reportedly joined the list of admirers, though it remains unclear whether the Toffees will revive their previous pursuit after narrowly missing out just months ago.
The 30-year-old could be available for as little as £26 million, an attractive fee considering he has amassed six Premier League winners’ medals over his career.
Former Everton scout Bryan King, speaking exclusively to Goodison News, described the potential deal as “ideal” for both the player and the club, expressing strong confidence that the blue side of Merseyside should push to get it done.
“I like Ake; he’s a really good player,” King said. “Everton would be an ideal move for him, especially as they’ve already taken Jack Grealish from City.
Ake would be a very, very good option. He has vast experience, not just in the Premier League but also in Europe.”
Ake could surpass 250 Premier League appearances at Everton
With Jordan Pickford committing his future to the club through his new contract, the England goalkeeper has cemented his status as one of Everton’s modern icons and stands among the most seasoned players in the squad.
Ake would arrive with a similar pedigree, instantly becoming one of the team’s most experienced top-flight performers.
The Dutchman has made exactly 240 Premier League appearances across his stints at Chelsea, Watford, Bournemouth, and Manchester City.
Within Moyes’ current squad, only Pickford, Seamus Coleman, and Michael Keane have amassed more top-flight games.
That level of experience could prove invaluable as Everton look to progress and stabilise, and with Ake also boasting extensive European pedigree, securing his signature in January would be an obvious and highly beneficial move for the club.
