According to a recent report from Liverpool Echo, it was mentioned that Liverpool are interested in signing Leroy Sane of Bayern Munich. It was also stated that the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is unhappy with the attacking options at his disposal and would like to bring in a few more attacking reinforcements to strengthen their offence.
Sane’s Impressive Run Of Form For Bayern Munich Last Season
Sane had a brilliant season in Munich recently as he established himself as a key player in Bayern’s starting XI. The German speedster found the back of the net on 14 occasions and produced 15 assists over 45 appearances for the Bavarian outfit in the previous campaign across various competitions.
The 26-year-old produced some impressive displays in the Allianz Arena after he averaged 2.8 shots, 1.6 key passes and 1.9 dribbles per game in Bundesliga. He was also accurate when distributing the ball in the opponent’s half after completing 84.1% of his attempted passes in the German first division (stats via whoscored).
What Could He Bring To Liverpool?
Sane can use his speed to make a few dangerous runs with the ball in the attacking end of the field. He can create some clear-cut goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates in the opponent’s half and excels at getting past his opponent when he’s isolated in a one-on-one on the left flank.
The German sensation can score a handful of goals for his team up top and add to their attacking prowess. He usually plays on the left wing but can also serve as a right-sided wide player or operate in the midfield areas if needed.
At 26, Sane is currently in his prime and can offer to play at a high level for a couple of years. The Reds could make use of a player with such calibre in the left-wing position since Sadio Mane’s departure from Anfield has left a gap in the offensive department. Jurgen Klopp would be wise to pursue his signature before the transfer window comes to a halt at the end of this month.
