Making 33 appearances last season for Borussia Dortmund, Ilkay Gundogan appears as the next Dortmund midfielder to leave for greener fields. Though criticized last season for several performances, Gundogan remains as a top target of Premier League clubs.

Two clubs leading the chase for the Dortmund star are Arsenal and Manchester United. Both sides see the German as a top talent that would bolster their midfield.

At only 24-year of age, Ilkay Gundogan still has room to grow. With his contract expiring at the end of the upcoming season, Dortmund will need to sell their man now. The German has in the past stated his desire to move to Bayern Munich, making a contract extension a long-shot at best.

However, the Guardian is reporting that Gundogan may want to stay in Germany for the upcoming season. Refusing a switch to England, Dortmund will be put into a tough position between forcing him to leave and letting him stay, but possibly losing him for free this summer.
