Manchester City: Ilkay Gundogan
With a plethora of attacking options at the club already, barring any sales, City do not require another forward, contrary to belief. Lacking a box-to-box midfielder to put alongside Yaya Toure in the middle of the park, complementing each other. Gundogan, coming off a stormer in the Champions League final for Borussia Dortmund which included a goal to his credit has been linked with a move to the Etihad this summer, but the Blues face competition from Barcelona for the Germans services. Valued around £17million, Gudogan is a fine combination of defensive solidarity and creative ability. Manchester City really declined this year in the midfield, looking tired on occasion, Ilkay allows for adequate rotation for the prospective new manager for when they arrive, and is a vast improvement on Gareth Barry and Jack Rodwell.
