Ilkay Gundogan signs Borussia Dortmund contract extension

Germany international Gundogan insisted in April he would not be renewing his contract that runs out in 2016 and was said to be in talks with a number of clubs for an immediate transfer.

However, the 24-year-old has performed a dramatic turnaround to commit to Die Borussen until 2017.

Dortmund, German champions in 2011 and 2012 and Champions League finalists in 2013, finished seventh in the Bundesliga and will compete in the Europa League next season.
