Summary

Fenerbahce has confirmed an agreement to sign Dutch defender Nathan Ake from Manchester City. The 31-year-old's move comes after a six-year tenure at City, where he claimed four Premier League titles and the Champions League. Last season, Ake struggled for consistent playing time, starting only six of his 18 league appearances.
