Jamie Carragher is questioning Manchester City's move for Nathan Ake.

The Citizens are likely to pick up the Bournemouth defender, after reportedly having a bid accepted by the Cherries.

Ake is a Dutch centre-back who will help Pep Guardiola shore up his team's rear guard next season.

But Carragher thinks two left footed centre-backs in Ake and Aymeric Laporte is not an ideal combination.

"I like Nathan Ake and I think he will suit Man City," wrote Carragher on social media as the news of the deal broke.

"But with Laporte a guaranteed starter I'm not convinced two left-footed centre-backs works?

"I know right-footed players play together but it never feels right the other way round to me! Left back or a back three?"
