Where can Gundogan play?
In a 4-3-3 he can play in both the interior positions in midfield. If we continue with Xavi’s four midfielder system, he is capable of playing in the double pivot and between the lines. That’s rare.

We have seen how much the absence of Gavi, Pedri & Frenkie affected us in certain games. Gundogan could easily replace one of them and guarantee a high standard in the team. Stylistically, he is a perfect fit.
Pep Guardiola said this about Gundogan:
“He gave us Premier League. He can play as a holding midfielder and an attacking midfielder. He is so smart. That’s why he was voted by his mates as captain.”
Big words by one of the best managers ever.

Gundogan is an experienced player used to winning titles:
🏆 4x Premier League
🏆 4x League Cup
🏆 1x FA Cup
🏆 2x Super Cup
(England).
Such experience means that he handles high stake games well. In our very young squad, it would be valuable.

Gundogan is able to control the game from a deeper position, often like you see Busquets/Frenkie do, but unlike them, he is a much bigger threat in the final third. He uses his intelligence to occupy half spaces between the opponent’s midfield & defense. Great linkups.
In his best goalscoring season for City he recorded 13 goals. Their top scorer. How? He has a natural instinct for goals. Great at timing runs in the box. Top 1% in the world for xG per 90 minutes (midfielders).
Gundogan on a low salary can’t get any better. A huge upgrade to Kessie & Roberto in terms of squad depth. A step in the right direction in Xavi’s project. Christensen-esque type of signing.
