#1 Leroy Sane

Liverpool v Man City - FA Community Shield
Liverpool v Man City - FA Community Shield

Leroy Sane is unquestionably deadly on the ball, and years of tormenting full-backs on either wing have proved as much.

It is, therefore, surprising that Manchester City seems to be willing to let the German winger leave the club. With Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, and Riyad Mahrez putting in stellar performances every week, Sane's path to the first team in Manchester is quite convoluted.

The former Schalke speedster was heavily linked to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2019, but a season-threatening injury in the FA Community Shield match against Liverpool stalled negotiations.

With Sane regaining fitness and set to return to the first team in the coming weeks, the rumor mill is expected to churn out a few more snippets of information linking him with Bayern Munich. The Bavarian giants are yet to adequately replace club legends Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, and Leroy Sane's pace, trickery, and energy make him the ideal fit.

It is in Manchester City's interest to keep Sane at the club; the German is a superstar in the making. The allure of a club like Bayern Munich and regular first-team action, however, may be too strong for the winger to ignore.

Leroy Sane in full flight is a sight to behold. Will he fly the skies of Manchester or Munich? Only time will tell.
