Dahoud’s playing style is similar to that of Ilkay Gundogan

Dahoud has the rare ability to play in any of the midfield positions, making him a valuable asset for any side. Be it a box-to-box midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker, he is adept in performing either of the roles and at his young age of 21, it is truly the sign of a remarkable player.

In fact, his attributes are very similar to that of former Dortmund player Ilkay Gundogan, who currently plies his trade at Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Similar to Gundogan, Dahoud can play the box-to-box role given his excellent ability to intercept and tackle on one side while showing good dribbling ability to move the ball forward during attacks on the other side.

Furthermore, he is a relentless runner who is known to cover 13 km per game on average. Also, his vision, long-range shooting and passing range are strong assets for any team to have.
