Leroy Sane has been strongly linked with a move back to the Premier League this summer, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both showing an interest in signing him.
Sane is out of contract with Bayern Munich this summer, although the German champions have been attempting to renew his deal at the Allianz Arena.
As reported by TBR Football, Mikel Arteta has discussed signing Sane for Arsenal, having worked with the winger at Manchester City.
Tottenham have also held talks with Sane as they look to bolster their attacking options after qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The race to sign the 29-year-old is now ongoing, with several parties pushing to offer him a contract, but his agent, Pini Zahavi, already has a specific destination in mind.
Leroy Sane’s agent wants him to join Tottenham
Leroy Sane’s agent, Zahavi, is pushing the German international to sign for Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to CFBayernInsider.
Daniel Levy is close friends with Sane’s agent and the Spurs chairman is believed to be ‘pulling the strings’ to bring the winger to the capital.
Crucially, the Bayern forward’s family live in London, therefore, a move back to England could strongly appeal to him.
The North London club are believed to be in a strong negotiating position to now land the former Man City player.
Sane enjoyed a very successful spell when he last played in the Premier League, as he helped City to win two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup.
The big issue at Tottenham right now, though, is that Ange Postecoglou’s future remains uncertain, making new additions rather tricky.
Postecoglou is often pretty good at selling a move to Spurs to interested players, however, it’s unclear how involved he is in this transfer.
Do Tottenham need to sign Leroy Sane?
The only issue with this move right now is that Tottenham are already very well stocked with left-wingers.
Spurs have six different options, all of whom can fill the left wing role and adding Sane means that at least a few might become rather frustrated at the situation.
The Lilywhites are ready to make Mathys Tel’s move permanent with talks over a £33.5m deal taking place, as revealed by TBR Football last week.
