Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes he is close to finding his best form after a injury-ridden start to his spell at the Premier League club.
The German international joined City in July 2016 but his debut was delayed after he suffered a dislocated kneecap earlier that year. Gundogan went on to make 16 appearances in the 2016-17 season before sustaining a serious knee ligament injury.
After being sidelined for eight months, the 27-year-old returned in September's league win over Watford and has featured 38 times for City across all competitions this season.
'I just think about now, about being part of the team, about training well and playing well, about doing what the manager and the staff want me to transport into the team,' Gundogan told the Manchester City website.
