After concerns he could be leaving the club in the near future, Ilkay Gundogan has put pen to paper on a fresh new deal at Manchester City.

The Germany international had just a year left on his previous deal, and reports in recent weeks and months had claimed that negotiations between the two parties had stalled.

However, the club have now confirmed via their official website the 28-year-old has signed a new contract, which will see him commit his future at the Etihad for a further four years.

After hearing the news the German had extended his stay, City fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the update of their midfield playmaker.

Indeed, some even suggested the 28-year-old's eventual contract signing as another example of the "Pep effect", and took their hats off to the City boss for persuading the player to stay.
