Pep Guardiola offered up Ilkay Gundogan as a surprise candidate to aid Manchester City's striker crisis during the hectic end to this season.

Gundogan is often drilled to arrive late into the box to meet crosses from wide areas during training sessions. 'To win the Champions League you have to arrive in the right moment in the best condition as possible. Sometimes we have seen at other clubs that other players make a step forward to solve the situation.'
