Arsenal now ‘showing strong interest’ in ‘dangerous’ Bayern Munich star, they can sign him for free
Arsenal are showing strong interest in signing Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Leroy Sane this summer, according to The Times.
The Germany international is out of contract at the Bundesliga club this month and will be available for free if he decides to leave them, and the Gunners and several other clubs are monitoring his situation.
Sane and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta worked together at Manchester City, and a reunion could be on the cards as the Spaniard looks to sign a winger heading into next season.
The 29-year-old spent four seasons in the Premier League, scoring 25 goals and bagging 30 assists in 90 appearances to help Man City pick up two titles, three Carabao Cups and one FA Cup, and it is unknown whether a return to England could be tempting to him.
Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams is the main left-wing target of Arsenal, but the finances needed to sign him could deter them, and a deal to sign Sane for nothing could be more appealing.
The ‘dangerous’ Bayern star has 61 goals and 55 assists in 220 games for the Bundesliga club since joining them, and he has the experience and quality the Gunners want in a left winger.
Sane boasts electric pace and brilliant dribbling skills, and his passing, finishing and perfect crossing make him an upgrade on both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

The North London club have cash to spend this summer having failed to sign players in January, but they cannot afford to miss out on a player like Sane if he becomes available for free in the coming weeks, and their sporting director, Andrea Berta, should be looking to pull out all the stops to get a deal done.
