Pep Guardiola’s side missed out on a Premier League title for the first time in the last five seasons, finishing in a respectable 3rd place but 13 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Following a relatively unsuccessful season (by Man City standards), which included an FA Cup Final loss to Crystal Palace, Manchester City has made multiple additions in various positions.
One of them is AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders, who had a terrific season in Italy’s Serie A, winning the Coppa Italia by beating arch rivals Inter Milan to claim that title.
At Man City, the Dutch midfielder will be sharing the pitch with midfielders such as Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Rayan Cherki, Mateo Kovačić, İlkay Gündoğan, and Nico González.
Reijnders brings traits of dynamism with and without the ball, which will help Man City a huge deal with verticality.
In this scout report and player analysis, we will look at Tijjani Reijnders playing style and what role he will play under Pep Guardiola tactics.
Tijjani Reijnders Style Of Play
As we can see, the Dutch midfielder boasts impressive statistics in terms of dribbles, shots, and touches within the opponents penalty area.
Tijjani Reijnders also boasts a commendable number in terms of progressive passes, especially in the attacking half.
