Leroy Sane lined up for surprising Premier League return as Arsenal consider bid to reunite Mikel Arteta with ex-Man City star

According to <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/fc-arsenal-beobachtet-situation-von-leroy-sane-beim-fc-bayern/13186731/34826" target="_blank">Sky Sport Germany</a>, Arsenal have taken an interest in Sane and are watching his situation closely. With his contract due to end in 2025 and currently no extension agreement in place, it is opportunistic from the Gunners.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has already worked closely with Sane, having been an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola for most of the Germany international's four seasons with Manchester City. But the lure of familiarity alone may not be enough, as the report adds that Sane's preference is to stay at Bayern and sign a new contract. The Gunners will stay alert, though.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Sane was at City between 2016 and 2020, although he missed nearly all of the 2019-20 campaign due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Before that, he played a crucial role in back-to-back Premier League title wins in 2017-18 and 2018-19, scoring double figures in each campaign.

DID YOU KNOW?

Arsenal will only get their chance with Sane this summer if a new contract at Bayern fails to materialise and the Bundesliga giants make the decision to cash in. The 29-year-old could eventually be a free agent come 2025. But if an extension is the preference for both he and Bayern, the Gunners may be out of luck.
