In a recent report, Sky Sports claimed that Arsenal are keeping tabs on the situation of Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane. It has been revealed that the Gunners are showing interest in recruiting the Germany international in this summer transfer period.
Sane’s Impressive Numbers In German Football Last Season
Sane had a productive campaign at the Bavarian club recently as he was responsible for putting in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 28-year-old scored ten times and earned 13 assists in 42 matches for Bayern Munich last season on all fronts.
The German sensation was a decent performer out in the wide areas based on his average of 2.7 shots, 2.7 key passes, 1.0 crosses and 3.4 dribbles per game in Bundesliga football. He was even tidy when distributing the ball in the opponent’s half after completing 84.4% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via whoscored).
Sane is under contract at the Allianz Arena until the end of next season which could give Arsenal a chance to snap him up on the cheap this off-season.
Will Sane Be A Dream Signing For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?
Sane remains an excellent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can use his pace to get in behind the opponent’s defence at every chance he gets. He can strike the ball with venom and precision from long range and has got the vision to create a few decent chances for his teammates in the final third.
The Germany international can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the flanks. He mainly operates as a right-sided wide player but can also play as a left-winger or function in the number ten position if required.
Sane would add more firepower to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta‘s first XI. He has already got some Premier League experience under his belt and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club.
At 28, Sane is playing in his prime which makes him a dream signing for the Gunners to pull off in this transfer window. He might even help Arsenal compete for some major trophies over the next few years.
