It is being reported that Arsene Wenger is weighing up a £20 million move for Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan. And as a fan of the German international, I would love nothing more than to see this happen.
Apparently the 22-year-old holding midfielder is high on top of Wenger’s wish list this summer following an impressive run to the Champions League final this season.
Gundogan signed for Dortmund in 2011 from Nuremburg on a four-year deal and has been ever present for the former Bundesliga champions, racking up a total of 79 appearances and contributing eight goals and six assists.
However, with Dortmund set to lose their big-name players this summer, notably Mario Gotze to Bayern Munich and Robert Lewandowski seemingly off as well, Gundogan may well consider his options in the upcoming weeks.
He could cost Arsenal around £20 million but it would be money well spent, in my opinion.
He has great technical ability and a superb work-rate for a player still developing his game. In addition, the German midfielder is also well disciplined in his position and gets stuck in – something we have lacked since the departure of Alex Song last summer.
Having not replaced Song, we could really do with a tireless midfielder coming in this summer and I believe Gundogan would be the perfect man for the job.
Hopefully this deal goes through.

He’s German not Turkish. Your fucking retarded
who cares if the writer got his nationality wrong, Fact is he is a great young player who could excel at Arsenal
But the problem is that it isnt going to happen, and its never gonna happen
I hope to see gundogan at arsenal along with higuain….and mignolet…lol.
I don’t think Arsenal need a goal keeper the two they have now I believe , are good enough and will be better next season
But the problem is he is German..not turkish..
Keep dreaming on
Turking international not. German International yes.
hahaha dat iz impossible……
While Gundogan is a superb player please explain to me how he’s 20M quid different than Arteta. They have a similar style of play from deep and range of passing. Ilkay really isn’t much of a DM either, he’s just like a Pirlo or Xabi and they have actual box to box midfielders with them to win the ball for them while they quarterback.
I think Gundogan would be a great player if he came to Arsenal but I really don’t see the huge improvement over what we have for that much money. there are other area of the pitch where we need to put that 20M – like a 20 goals a season striker and a more athletic and dominating box to box player that isn’t Aaron Ramsey.
so u say ur a fan of his…but don’t even know his nationality. makes sense.
Wenger has killed Arsenal, IF WE FAIL TO LAND ANY SILVERWARE NEXT SEASON,I WILL STOP WATCHING FOOTBALL.
Don’t stop watching mate, if Wenger fails to sign the players and Arsenal don’t win any trophies; Wenger should be sacked or he should resign .If that happens a new manager can come in and do what Wenger seems reluctant to do,which is spend money.
