Sky Sports says that Arsenal is hopeful about their pursuit of Leroy Sane.

Mikel Arteta is still looking for new players before the end of the summer transfer window. He already agreed to pay £42 million for Riccardo Calafiori or someone similar.

Arteta is said to want to get a versatile attacker, and Nico Williams, a star player for Spain at EURO 2024, is said to be on Arsenal’s watchlist.

Besides that, the Gunners are also interested in Sane. Arsenal is “closely watching” what’s going on with the winger at Bayern Munich.

Arsenal wants to get Sane.

Sane moved from Manchester City to Bayern for £54.8 million four years ago. He only has one year left on his contract with the Bundesliga club and has not yet agreed to a new one.

Sky Sports says that Sane wants to stay with Bayern for another year. That is, the former Manchester City star doesn’t want to go.

The source does say that Arsenal “sense an opportunity” to sign Sane this summer, since Bayern could lose the 28-year-old for free in the summer of 2025.

So, the chance that Sane’s deal with Arsenal will go through is not small.
