Top journalist Steve Kay has stated Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane. He, however, cautioned that the potential deal was still in its infancy, with the Gunners still waiting to establish contact with the Bavarians.
Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka is one of the best players in the Premier League. He gives his all in every single match and regularly pops up with important goals and assists, emerging as an integral member of Mikel Arteta’s XI. Saka has done a superb job at keeping himself fit and making himself available for selection over the years. But Arteta’s over-reliance on the winger has increased the risk of burnout.
In the last two seasons, Saka has shown signs of fatigue toward the closing stages, hurting Arsenal’s chances to get important results. Fans and pundits have urged Arteta to take action and bring in a player who can fill in for Saka down the right wing. And as per Kay, they are finally considering making a move.
Arsenal Are Closely Monitoring Bayern Munich Ace Leroy Sane
Bayern Munich winger Sane has emerged as a person of interest, with Kay claiming Arsenal are “really looking at him” as an option for the right wing.
Speaking on KS1TV, he said (via The Boot Room):
“There seems to be a pattern emerging here looking at people’s ages, and there’s another one at a similar age who I’ve heard today.”
When asked “Who was that who you heard today?”, Kay replied:
“You have his picture up there, Leroy Sane. Yeah, very early days on this one, but he’s a player people have mentioned throughout this window and the last window.
“I never had anyone of note say anything to me, but today I heard that Arsenal are really looking at him as an option on that side.”
Sane, who is valued at £55 million ($71.65 million), could be an excellent signing for the north Londoners. Thanks to his time with Manchester City, Sane knows how to thrive in the Premier League. He is also well acquainted with Arteta, as they worked together at the Etihad Stadium.
Having spent four years at Bayern Munich, Sane could be open to a new challenge. However, we are not sure if he will agree to play second fiddle to Saka in London.
