Rayan Ait-Nouri says he is hugely proud and excited to have joined Manchester City and eager to learn from Pep Guardiola and his world class squad.
The Algerian left back put pen to paper on a five-year deal on Monday to become City’s first signing of the 2025 summer transfer window.
Having joined during the special 10-day window, opened ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, it means the 24-year-old will be eligible to play for City in the showpiece tournament which kicks off in the United States next weekend.
Ait-Nouri arrives at the Etihad already armed with extensive Premier League experience after spending the past five seasons at Wolves, where he has gone from strength to strength.
In that time, he has established himself as one of the most talented and promising young full-backs operating in the English game.
“I am very, very happy and I’m very proud to join Manchester City and my family are very proud too,” Ait-Nouri said.
“For sure it is a very good day, and I can’t wait to play with the shirt.
“It was an easy decision.
“To be honest, my choice was Manchester City in the beginning – what I said with my family, I want to play for this team – I like how they play. I am very happy to be here – it is a big pleasure for me. “I am very excited to work with Pep,” Rayan added.
