Manchester City v SSC Napoli - UEFA Champions League
The flying German has been quick off the mark this season

Speed merchants have always been an integral part of the Premier League, and Leroy Sane is currently one of the best in that category. The German exceeded expectations in the second half of the previous season and has been consistently building on that form and momentum this season as well.

In a side filled with passing and creative brilliance, Sane adds an interesting new dimension. His primary weapon is his searing pace, accompanied by a deadly shot from distance and excellent finishing technique. He has also improved his positioning this season and has developed an excellent relationship with assist king Kevin de Bruyne.

At Schalke, Leroy Sane was considered a bright talent and was earmarked for success in the future. Under Guardiola, however, he has developed into a machine, scoring and creating chances seemingly at will. The winger has already scored 6 goals and assisted 5 in the Premier League so far, and has shown no signs of slowing down.

At only 21 years of age, Leroy Sane is considered by many as the future of the current Manchester City team. He has also earned himself a spot in a German national team packed with talent in all departments. With consistent improvement in every game and an excellent mentor in Pep Guardiola, Sane's capabilities know no limits.
