Manchester City strengthened their injury-hit defence on Thursday by signing Swiss international Manuel Akanji on a five-year deal from Borussia Dortmund.
Akanji will provide the Premier League champions with extra defensive depth after recent injuries to center-backs Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake.
The 27-year-old spent four-and-a-half seasons with Dortmund after joining from Basel in 2018.
Akanji is City’s fifth summer signing after former Dortmund team-mate Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips, Sergio Gomez and Stefan Ortega Moreno
Both Akanji and Haaland could face their former club on September 14, with Dortmund due to play City at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League group stage.
