Manchester City's summer signing is making waves and is already being labelled by some as one of the best deals in football.

While all the spotlight is on star striker Erling Haaland, manager Pep Guardiola believes City have also struck gold with their other summer deal with Borussia Dortmund – Manuel Akanji.

The Swiss international has settled quickly since his deadline-day move to the Etihad Stadium, firstly slotting seamlessly into central defence.

He then showed his versatility with an accomplished performance filling in for the injured Kyle Walker at right-back in Saturday's 4-0 Premier League win against Southampton. “The club made an incredible decision with him,” said Guardiola. “There are players you have to explain to 10 times what you are thinking, what you want him to do.
