Tijjani Reijnders reveals Manchester City goals target and trophy ambitions after Wolves masterclass
Manchester City’s star summer signing Tijjani Reijnders has revealed he has a clear target for goals and assists this season off the back of his stellar showing against Wolves.The 26-year-old
Reijnders brought dynamism back to the Manchester City midfield, and it was his ability to drive through the pitch from deep, whilst retaining a remarkable control of the ball in tight spaces despite his imposing physical figure, that played a significant role in Pep Guardiola's side scoring the goals that they did.
And that return has only been managed once before by a Manchester City player, earning Reijnders a notable record on his first start in the league. The only other player to score and assist on their Premier League debut for City was Sergio Aguero in 2011 when he scored twice against Swansea.
It is very early in the season but Man City's dominant performance against Wolves puts them top of the table, where they have finished in six of the past eight campaigns. At the heart of their brilliance was midfielder Tijjani Reijnders,
Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens debate if Tijjani Reijnders will be the signing of the season after scoring on his Manchester City debut.
