He speaks three languages fluently! Turkish, German, English.
Is there no end to his talents.
Gundogan’s English is better than mine

Gündogan is world class for me, one of the best MC I have seen. But unfortunately, due to many injuries, he has not been able to stay on top for long periods of time. A shame, because I really think he has the quality to be considered one of the best in his position.

Gundogan is an absolute worldie midfielder. Does everything.

Look what Pep had to say.
Guardiola on Gündoğan: “He’s an extraordinary player. Last season we missed him a lot with his six-month injury, so that’s why we are so satisfied with the performance. It’s not just the goal but the quality he has with the personality to play and he played fantastically.” pic.twitter.com/XxvK78wHvF
