The Dutch international joined the Club from AFC Bournemouth in the summer of 2020, but an injury setback saw his playing time limited across his debut campaign at the Etihad Stadium.
However, his versatility has proven vital over the following two campaigns, with Ake now a regular fixture for Pep Guardiola‘s men.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash with RB Leipzig, the defender said he’s eager to continue learning and improving at City.
“The first season when I arrived it was a bit difficult, settling in and with injuries and stuff like that, I never really got in a rhythm,” he reflected.
“Last season I was already improving, getting better, getting more game time, understanding more what I needed to do to get in the team.
“This season automatically started to come with games. I started the season well. [I had] A little setback with a small injury but then after that I just kicked on.
“I feel good now, I feel comfortable and just eager to learn even more and be consistent until the end of the season.”
