Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic has praised his teammate Josko Gvardiol for his impressive performances and goal-scoring ability. Gvardiol, a defender, has scored 5 goals in all competitions this season, including a brace in City’s recent 4-0 win over Fulham. Kovacic highlighted Gvardiol’s versatility, stating that he can play as a striker as well as at the back, and expressed his happiness for his fellow countryman’s success.

Gvardiol’s goals have been crucial for City, with him scoring in important fixtures such as the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid and league matches against Luton Town and Nottingham Forest. City manager Pep Guardiola has lauded Gvardiol’s talents, jokingly referring to him as the “best winger in the planet” after his impressive display against Fulham. Guardiola believes that Gvardiol has a bright future ahead of him and is an “incredible signing” for the club.

City’s significant investment in Gvardiol at the start of the season, totaling £77.6m, is proving to be a wise decision as the defender continues to make a positive impact on the team. Additionally, Kovacic has also shown improvement since joining from Chelsea, becoming an important player in City’s recent matches. The club’s summer transfer business appears to be paying off as both Gvardiol and Kovacic contribute to the team’s success on the pitch.
