Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs that should be entering the race to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri in the January window.
The full-back has become surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium following Nico O'Riley's emergence, and he is now available for transfer.
The 25-year-old was excellent during his spell at Wolves and proved that at his best, he can be a top left-back.
Spurs need to sign a new full-backin the winter window, with Destiny Udogie continuing to struggle with staying fit.
Now a fantastic opportunity has just emerged for Spurs, as the City left-back could now be available for sale.
Tottenham should be all over the Rayan Ait-Nouri deal
Ait-Nouri is open to leaving Manchester City in January and is a player whose future is one to watch, according to Florian Plettenburg.
Manchester United are one of the clubs that are keen to sign the defender, and several clubs are also monitoring him.
Spurs should be one of those clubs, and could well be given the fact that they have been prioritising Premier League proven players.
Udogie's inability to stay fit has meant that Andy Robertson has had to play more than he may have imagined so far this season.
Robertson has done a great job at left-back under De Zerbi, but long-term, Spurs should be considering their options.
At 25 and with several seasons of Premier League football under his belt, Ait-Nouri represents an excellent opportunity for any club.
The Algerian full-back looks like a perfect fit for De Zerbi's system, as he is comfortable with attacking wide spaces, but also moving into midfield areas.
Spurs' defensive foundations already look very solid, and with Robertson being given huge attacking license, handing that to Ait-Nouri could be very exciting.
In 152 Premier League appearances, the former Wolves man has managed nine goals and 17 assists, which is not a bad return.
Lewis Hall and Adrien Truffert are among other players who could also be great options for Spurs on the left side of their defence.
Tottenham must replace Destiny Udogie
Udogie is a top player, but his fitness record means that signing a new left-back must be a priority over the next two windows.
The Italian defender has suffered six different injuries since the start of last season and missed a total of 21 matches.
Now is the time for the North London club to secure a more reliable option at left-back and move for Ait-Nouri.
