According to German journalist Christian Falk, Arsenal are interested in signing Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich, with manager Mikel Arteta keen on a reunion with the winger he knows from their days together at Manchester City. Arteta has already brought three such players to North London – Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, and most recently, Raheem Sterling.
Sane’s contract with Bayern expires at the end of the season, which makes him a highly attractive proposition in the transfer market next summer. Apart from Arsenal, Newcastle are believed to be interested in the 28-year-old too, but he doesn’t regard St. James Park as an attractive destination. Barcelona have been mentioned as well.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are now regular contenders for major honours in England, and as such, they can offer Sane the opportunity he craves. Bayern, who prevented his departure from the Allianz Arena in the past, don’t have that power anymore, and it remains to be seen if they can tempt the Germany international into signing a new deal.
