# Arsenal: Gunners ‘would be interested’ in signing Leroy Sane

**[Arsenal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-news/) ‘would be interested’ in signing Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane if he became available, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.**

### **The Lowdown: Sane links**

According to a report by Bild (via [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/premier-league/20220716/1001837350/sane.html)), the Gunners are keen on signing the former Manchester City man, with manager Mikel Arteta still on the lookout for a fresh winger having missed out on Leeds United star [Raphinha](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1643286/chelsea-arsenal-raphinha-barcelona-leeds-united-transfer-news), who opted to join Barcelona.

The Germany international left the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) champions two years ago after a [£54.8m fee](https://www.skysports.com/app/transfer/news/12691/12019477/leroy-sane-bayern-munich-complete-signing-of-man-city-winger) was agreed to with the Bundesliga giants.

With [three years remaining](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leroy-sane/profil/spieler/192565) on his Bayern contract, Sane’s market value is said to be [£54m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leroy-sane/marktwertverlauf/spieler/192565), having dropped from its [£90m peak](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leroy-sane/marktwertverlauf/spieler/192565) in 2019.

### **The Latest: Taylor’s claim**

Taylor believes that Sane is the calibre of attacker Arsenal should be targeting this summer.

Speaking with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88038938-arsenal-would-be-interested-in-world-class-54m-star-at-the-emirates), the journalist claimed: “Sane is an interesting one because we haven’t seen the same Sane we saw at City at Bayern, so whether that means he could become available, I don’t know.

“It would be fair to assume Arsenal would be interested in a player of his quality, he’s world-class on his day and he’s Premier League proven, so I do think he’s the kind of player they’ll be looking at, but nothing concrete at the moment as far as I’m aware.”

### **The Verdict: Great signing**

When looking at the 26-year-old’s underlying stats, it is easy to see why Arteta would be interested in bringing the winger to the Emirates this year.

As per [FBRef](https://fbref.com/en/players/2b114be3/Leroy-Sane), compared with positional peers across Europe over the past year, the German ranks in the 99th percentile for shots total and in the 97th percentile for non-penalty goals plus expected assists.

The Gunners losing out on Raphinha suggests that Arteta isn’t completely happy with the options available to him at the Emirates, otherwise the arrival of [Gabriel Jesus](https://www.arsenal.com/news/arsenal-complete-gabriel-jesus-signing) would’ve met their attacking quota.

If Sane does become available, Arsenal would be foolish not to do all they can to sign him.
