Low talks up Sane to Bundesliga

Germany manager Joachim Low has talked up the possibility of Leroy Sane joining the Bundesliga in the future. The German has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich from Manchester City and Low thinks that he would be a great attraction to the league.

He also stated that Sane would help maintain the glamour of the league should he join it.

"He's got many special skills and a completely unique style of play. He would be an attraction for the Bundesliga,” he said.
"The Bundesliga needs to watch out - the international ranking doesn't look too good because in recent years the league fell behind a bit. Sane could maintain the attractiveness of the Bundesliga."

Hodgson unsure over Zaha

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has stated that he is not sure whether he will be able to keep Wilfried Zaha at the club during the transfer window. There are reports of interest from Chelsea for the Ivorian star and Hodgson has suggested that the club will have to adjust according to what happens during the window.

“I'm counting on Wilf, I'm delighted to be working with Wilf but when the transfer window is coming around I can never say exactly what will happen,” he was quoted as saying.
“I will have to adjust, as will the club, to anything that comes our way.”
