Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has raved about Arsenal target and Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
Bruno Fernandes was hugely impressed by the first goal that Ilkay Gundogan, linked with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, scored for Manchester City against Manchester United in the FA Cup final this past weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s City got the better of Erik ten Hag’s United 2-1 at Wembley Stadium in London in the final of the FA Cup this past Saturday.
Germany international midfielder Gundogan scored both the goals.
The opening goal came in the very first minute when the 32-year-old found the target with a brilliant effort.
And United and Portugal international midfielder Fernandes was impressed.
Sport have reported that Arsenal and Barcelona are interested in signing Ilkay Gundogan, who is out of contract at Manchester City at the end of the season.
The report in the Spanish publication has claimed that Arsenal have “made him a very strong financial offer”, but the former Borussia Dortmund star is close to making a move to Barcelona.
Gundogan is one of the best midfielders around and is at the top of his game at the age if 32.
If Arsenal are able to sign the midfielder, then it would be quite a coup from the North London club.
Bruno Fernandes praises Arsenal target Ilkay Gundogan
Fernandes said on BBC One: “We were too soft and gave up too much space for the first goal but it’s an amazing strike. If players are tighter then maybe they can stop it but it’s an amazing strike.
“He’s [Gundogan] an amazing player and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.”
