ILkay Gundoga: I have nothing in common with Nuri Sahin – Bundesliga News 
Newly appointed Borussia Dortmund midfielder, ILkay Gundogan, wishes to stamp his authority at the club but has mooted comparisons with former Dortmund midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251. The youngster was brought in as a replacement for Sahin, who signed a deal with
the Spanish powerhouse, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid, for the upcoming 2011/12 season.
The 20-year-old was captured from 1.http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 international but clearly stated that he doesn’t have any comparisons with the Turk. He also
hoped to get plenty of first team chances at Signal Iduna Park in the upcoming season.
The German was delighted on being a part of the 2010/11 Bundesliga champions and vowed to perform at his level best during the next season. He expressed desire of winning silverware at the club and also seemed excited at the prospect of playing in the 2011/12
UEFA Champions League. The player thanked Dortmund officials, who considered him worthy enough of filling in the midfield role. He was determined to justify his place in the side and is ready to fight for a regular place in Jurgen Klopp’s line-up.
The former Nuremberg player further added, “He [Sahin] was an outstanding figure and I am most definitely not coming to the club to copy him. The competition for places is of course on another level compared to that in Nurnberg.”
Gundogan joined Nuremberg in 2009 after spending a year with the second string http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Bochum-c40880. At Nuremberg, the midfielder managed 48 Bundesliga appearances, bagging six goals during the process. Five of those goals came during the recently concluded 2010/11
campaign. The player also had three assists under his belt.
He reiterated his desire of cementing a place in the club’s starting XI, saying, “However, my objective has to be to battle for a place in the starting line-up. Borussia Dortmund most certainly did not sign me in order to make up the numbers in the squad.”
Gundogan is the club’s second signing of the season, following in the footsteps of Croatian international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-c17215 Perisic.
