He wreaked havoc on the wing in the Premier League as a City rookie. In the Bundesliga, Leroy Sané has played his way to the status of one of the best, with his 46 goals and 45 assists in 191 games in a Bayern Munich shirt. Vincent Kompany is not as convinced, and this season has given the 29-year-old crumbs of playing time. With contracts expiring in the summer, four Premier League clubs had lined up. The 29-year-old stayed in Munich, but now work is being done in London to bring Sané in as part of a new title attempt.

When Arsenal were finally past Manchester City in the Premier League, Liverpool showed up and ruined the title plan. There will therefore be a need for some crucial reinforcements before next season, according to German journalist Christian Falk, Arsenal have now sent strong signals they want free agent Leroy Sané to the Emirates.

Inside the final months of his contract with Bayern Munich and with no sign of an extension, Mikel Arteta is reportedly pushing to get the former City player to the signing table. Arteta knows the German well from his time as Pep Guardiola’s wingman, and has reportedly identified the winger as the one who can give the Arsenal attack a boost.
