Man City signing Tijjani Reijnders looking to follow in the footsteps of Ilkay Gundogan and bring goals from midfield ahead of debut at the Club World Cup

Tijjani Reijnders has vowed to solve Manchester City’s goalscoring problems from midfield with the same impact as Ilkay Gundogan did in his pomp.

Reijnders, who signed from AC Milan for an initial £46million earlier this month, is in line to make his debut in the Club World Cup against Wydad AC on Wednesday.

The Holland international has leant on the likes of compatriot Nathan Ake while settling into Pep Guardiola’s squad but is bullish about the qualities he can offer to a side looking to bounce back from last season’s disappointment.
