"I can imagine him playing with us". Ilkay Gundogan praises Wolves star

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has praised Wolves star, Raul Jimenez. Jimenez has been a key part of Nuno Espirito Santos' side. During this season the 28-year-old has made 44 appearances in which he has scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists. "I think he has everything a world-class striker needs," Gundogan told ESPN. "For a striker he is so mobile, but also physically so good and talented technically on the ball. I can imagine him playing with us. "Maybe [he's] not on that level yet, but he reminds me a little bit of [Robert] Lewandowski because I've played with him. In terms of style I think there is still a lot of potential." "Sometimes it's so difficult to predict," Gundogan added. "A player can have all the quality and everything it takes to play for a big-six team or to play for the best teams in the world but then sometimes it happens and it doesn't work out. "It's not because of the player or the club, sometimes it's just the environment, it's the wrong timing. It's so difficult to predict but I think [Jimenez] would get a chance in every single top-six team and there's a good possibility he could do well." source - Goal
