Arsenal are looking to make a big statement in the summer transfer window by raiding Bayern Munich for top forward Leroy Sane, in a move which could frustrate Liverpool, according to reports.
Sane has already had one spell in England, having played for Manchester City between August 2016 and July 2020. The left-footed winger, who prefers to play on the right flank, notched 39 goals and 43 assists in 135 appearances for City, helping the club win two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and two League Cups.
But Sane left the Etihad four years ago when he was offered the chance to star for the biggest club in his native Germany, Bayern Munich.
After initially paying Schalke £37million – plus £9.5m in potential add-ons – for the attacker, he joined Bayern in a deal worth £55m.
Sane has gone on to register 48 goals and 50 assists in 175 games for Bayern, with the German titans winning trophies such as the Bundesliga title (x3), the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup in that period.
