Arsenal are planning an offensive revamp this summer after being linked with several wingers in recent months. According to Sky Sport GermanyBayern Munich's Leroy Sane is the latest signing on the club's radar and the Gunners are “closely monitoring” his situation at the Allianz Arena.
Sane has entered the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich and has not yet committed to renewing it. Although he prefers to stay in Bavaria, the Gunners “sense an opportunity” to secure a discounted deal for Sane this summer, Sky's report adds.
Mikel Arteta has been wanting to add competition for Bukayo Saka on the right flank and the addition of Sané would be fantastic considering the wealth of experience he has both at Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
The highlight of the 28-year-old's career at the Etihad Stadium was winning the Premier league Twice. After joining Bayern, he won three Bundesliga titles among a host of other trophies for both clubs.
Sané would be a dream signing for Arsenal
Leroy Sané not only has a winning resume, but has also been a first-team regular in Manchester and Munich.
An added advantage for Arsenal is that he has already worked with Mikel Arteta, who was his assistant coach at Manchester City. Sane is also an incredibly versatile option, as he can play as an attacking midfielder and on the left wing, in addition to his natural role as a right winger.
If he doesn't renew his contract with Bayern, Arsenal could get him for a relatively affordable price. Sané is valued at 59 million pounds Transfer market But Arsenal could hope to reduce that price given his contractual situation.
The Londoners are currently working on closing a deal for Mikel Merino after signing Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. Arsenal will then turn their attention to signing a striker.
Although there has been no contact yet regarding the transfer of Sané, a tempting financial offer with the guarantee of a crucial role could convince the German international to return to the Premier League.
