Gundogan joined Manchester City in 2016 from Borussia Dortmund. The 28-year-old said he is very happy to sign the contract and has `hugely enjoyed` his time at the club.

"I am very happy to have signed the new contract. I have hugely enjoyed the last three years here at City and everyone at the Club has helped make me feel at home from my very first day," the club`s official website quoted Gundogan as saying.

Gundogan also said that it is a privilege to be a part of Manchester City.

"It`s a privilege to be a part of this team, playing the style of football we do and winning trophies. It`s very difficult to do that and I`m delighted to be a part of it. I`m really excited about what we can go on to achieve in the next few seasons," he said.

The club`s Director of Football Txiki Begiristain said that Gundogan has played a huge part in their achievements.
