According to a report by German outlet BILD, Leroy Sane is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal and Chelsea are also vying for the Bayern Munich winger’s signature, holding talks with Pini Zahavi, his agent. However, the Lilywhites are the “hottest club” in the race to secure the German attacker’s signature in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
Leroy Sane has come leaps and bounds since joining Bayern Munich from Manchester City in a big-money move in July 2020, yet he has endured a topsy-turvy ride in the last half a decade. While the experienced winger has won several trophies, he has not been as productive as he would have liked during this period.
The 29-year-old has been decent again this season, contributing to 19 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 13 times and providing six assists. However, Sane’s long-term future at Bayern Munich is uncertain after entering the final few months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several Premier League bigwigs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal and Chelsea are the front-runners to sign the German international in the summer transfer window. The two London giants have already held talks with his agent, Pini Zahavi, over a possible Bosman move. Arsenal can do with a productive winger as they aim to reduce the over-dependence on Bukayo Saka in the final third.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Leroy Sane is understandable. The West London club may not seal a permanent move for Jadon Sancho. In addition, Mykhailo Mudryk faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge due to his doping ban. So, the Blues need a new wide attacker, making the Bayern Munich winger a viable target.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, Richarlison will likely leave the North London club in the summer transfer window. In addition, Son Heung-min is approaching the twilight of his career. So, the Lilywhites need a new wide attacker, with the report pinning them as the “hottest club” in the battle.
A return to London appeals to Sane, as he can be closer to his family. So, it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat fellow London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea to the 29-year-old German attacker’s signature in the summer transfer window.
