Arsenal boss is playing the card of their former cooperation at Man City. He's also aware that Bayern Munich are not so eager to extend Leroy's expiring contract

Just when you thought Arsenal would settle with Riccardo Calafiori, the story about a new potential signing has emerged. And what a story that could be!

According to Sky Sports Germany, the Gunners are interested in signing Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane.

The same source, however, acknowledges that it is not too realistic for the German international to leave Munich in this transfer window, but the Gunners will try to play on the card of the excellent relationship between the player and coach Mikel Arteta, which dates back to the period when they worked together at Manchester City.

Also, the contract extension negotiations between Sane and Bayern are going quite slowly, and it expires next year.

The Gunners are looking for a winger. Also, it seems that Sane's prime at Allianz Arena has passed, that he has not made an additional step forward and the impression is that he was not among the main players of the team in the last season, as was the case in previous years.

A possible move could be fruitful for both Sane and Arsene. Leroy, 28, was born in Essen, and he grew up in the Schalke youth academy. In 2016, Manchester City bought him for 52,000,000 euros, and four years later he sold him to Bayern for 49,000,000. Four years have passed again since his last transfer, and perhaps the time is right for another big move.
