With Manchester City stockpiling so many wonderful attacking talents over the last 5 years it’s difficult to see how they could house any more without substantial sales.
But when talent as good as Leroy Sane comes along, you simply have to make a move.
And that is apparently what Manchester City are doing, according to widespread reports.
The Guardian passes on news from Germany by reporting:
Manchester City target move for Schalke and Germany forward Leroy Sané
Manchester City have made Leroy Sané, the highly rated 19-year-old Schalke forward, a prime transfer target
The German club are said to want £32m for the forward but that is peanuts as far as we are concerned.
Sane made his debut for Germany last month and he is surely going to be a household name in the next few years.
He reminds us of Eden Hazard but he may turn out to be an even more physically powerful player. He has pace, trickery and an eye for goal.
He has forced his way into the Schalke side and scored 5 goals in 19 appearances this season which has led Germany head coach, Joachim Low, to say:
‘Leroy has an incredibly good feeling when it comes to running into space and, with his speed, he has acquired this very well,’
‘He has shown the quality that he has in the final third third and in the Bundesliga matches that we have observed, he has simply convinced us.
‘He is a player with a special gift and finesse, speed paired with technique and strong running – at just 19. He can make the jump with us very quickly.’
If Manchester City sign this guy the rest in England may as well hang the white flag!
Let’s see the brilliant youngster in action.
Manchester City fans: is this what you need?
