Basel and reported Arsenal target Mohamed Elyounoussi has revealed that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised his performance following the final whistle in Tuesday's surprise 2-1 Champions League victory over the Premier League leaders.
The Citizens eased into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but lost the second leg at the Etihad after Basel came from a goal down to win 2-1 thanks to goal each from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Michael Lang.
The 23-year-old, who has scored seven goals and provided 13 assists in the 30 appearances he's made for the Swiss side, has recently emerged as one of the most promising attacking midfielders in Europe, an emergence which has caught the attention of a number of Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Leicester and Southampton.
