Aït-Nouri has had a quick rise to stardom
He signed for #Angers as a youth player in 2016, leaving Paris FC
Promoted to the first team in 18/19
First full professional season in 19/20

Aït-Nouri has earned a lot of fandom with his performances this season
Blessed with incredible speed, power, awareness and athleticism, Aït-Nouri looks to have everything you need to be a superstar!

Aït-Nouri has shown the ability to progress the ball from LB this season!
He currently has a progressive carries distance of 502 meters which is very impressive for a young fullback
He could be a dominant ball carrying Left-Back with more physical development!

Aït-Nouri has shown the ability to dribble this season.
He’s currently 4th in the Angers squad for dribbles per 90 on 1.3!
Although, he needs improving on his success rate. Currently only completing 46%
With more match intelligence, this area should certainly improve.

Aït-Nouri is a very good crosser. Although his attacking output isn’t special, he’s shown himself to be a good crosser. He’s very intelligent near the final third areas.
Aït-Nouri is a beast in the air! Winning 70% of his Aerial duels.
This is quite a rare quality in fullbacks. Considering a fullbacks his height like Reguillon is only winning 55% of his Aerial duels, and Ferland Mendy (an inch taller than Aït-Nouri) wins 53%. Very promising!

Aït-Nouri is very agressive in his approach of defending. He’s previously been likened to Patrice Evra. He’s also very similar to Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney in style! Agressive in their defending and very explosive on the ball
Aït-Nouri has certainly showed capabilities defensively this season. He was making 3.6 tackles and interceptions per 90 and only getting dribbled past 1.3 times per 90 which is promising! His defensive output can get better with time and physical maturity!
Aït-Nouri is far from the finished article! He’s only 19 and still has room to improve and cut out his flaws.
As we’ve stated in this thread, he should 100% improve on his dribble success and could probably add a bit more to his attacking prowess.

Aït-Nouri could probably improve in toning down on his aggression, that way he could get dribbled past less! He also makes nearly 2.53 passes into the final third per 90 which is good, but could also go up as he develops into a more intelligent player!
With any comparison to Patrice Evra, comes a link to #ManUnited! He’s also been linked with #Wolves, #psg, #AtleticoMadrid and #ManCity! So far it’s both the Manchester Clubs who are the strongest suitor for Aït-Nouri.
We see #ManCity having the strongest interest for Aït-Nouri. With Mendy not living up to expectations, Aït-Nouri could be a great replacement for the ex-Monaco star!
Aït-Nouri has the skill set to be a great fullback under Guardiola, who has a great track record with fullbacks. #ManCity would be the best possible move for the 19 year-old!
To conclude:
Aït-Nouri is a great young LB with the world at his feet! With the right club, coach and development process, he could potentially be one of the best in Europe in no time.
