Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League — Sane's speed of thought has been unmatchable this season

FA Young Player of the year for last season after his scintillating displays helped Manchester City win the Premier League title in emphatic fashion, Leroy Sane has seemingly continued from where he left off.

The 23-year-old showed a lot of promise as a youngster at Schalke 04, leading Guardiola to snap him up in 2016 and the German international has only grown in stature since then.

He started the season rather slowly, finding himself out of the first team picture due to the arrival of Riyad Mahrez, but rather than be deterred, Sane used that as motivation and reestablished himself in the first eleven.

So far this season, he has scored eight goals and provided nine assists from 22 matches, although it is looking highly likely that The Cityzens would be unable to retain their Premier League crown.
