Arsenal are lining up a summer move for Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane as his contract nears its final year, with talks between the German club and the player yet to reach a deal.
The Gunners are believed to be stepping up interest as uncertainty grows around Sane’s future. Gary Jacob of The Times reports that the North London side is very much in the mix for his signature.
At 29, the winger has not committed to a renewal, and a recent switch in representation has added fuel to the transfer talk.
Premier League clubs are closely monitoring the situation, but Arsenal may have an edge, Mikel Arteta previously worked with Sane during their time together at Manchester City and is keen to reunite with him. The Arsenal boss is targeting a natural winger to sharpen the team’s attack.
While personal reasons may draw Sane toward a London move, the German international has consistently said he is happy at Bayern. Still, with time ticking and no deal in place, Arsenal could make a bold move before rivals react.
