The Gvardiol-Guardiola Connection: How Nedum Onuoha Backs the Croatian for Success at City
Josko Gvardiol was formerly highly praised by Nedum Onuoha, and it seems as though he will unavoidably become a Manchester City player.
As it was reported on Wednesday that RB Leipzig are now open to selling the Croatian center-back to the treble-winners, the former Sky Blues defender offered his opinion on the center-back through Eurosport.
Nedum Onuoha gave Josko Gvardiol his blessing back in February as his move to Manchester City became more possible.

Sam Lee, a journalist who is always trustworthy, stated on Tuesday that the change “will 100% happen.”
The beloved RB Leipzig supporter might now go on with the European Champions to take Aymeric Laporte’s position, as it appears that he is eager to leave the Etihad Stadium.
Five months ago, when asked about Josko Gvardiol, former Manchester City right-back Nedum Onuoha gave him a positive evaluation.
“He has been amazing, in my opinion. The fact that he is so young also explains why there is so much interest in him and why clubs want to bring him right away to the Premier League.
“I was equally as impressed with the goal he scored. The goal [against Manchester City] felt like a really “British-type” header at the back post, jumped on someone’s shoulders. In the Premier League, I don’t like to mark him from corners. He just uses his front foot when playing.
Josko Gvardiol may already be the summer’s top signing if he signs.
Nedum Onuoha, who praised the giant Josko Gvardiol who is linked to Manchester City, is undoubtedly knowledgeable about what it takes to defend at the greatest level.
If Gvardiol does join Guardiola and company, he appears to have a good chance of being one of, if not the only, such blockbuster deal with no room for question.
Whether it was Mason Mount joining Manchester United or Jude Bellingham joining Real Madrid, many have questioned the pair’s appropriateness for their respective clubs.
When it comes to Josko Gvardiol, everyone seems to agree that he will succeed right away given how brilliant he is and Pep Guardiola’s tactical system, which includes four centre-backs.
Given that the player is only 21 years old, this acquisition might help City for the ensuing ten years as well.
