Leroy Sane is one of the quickest players in the Premier League

Leroy Sane, who was signed from Schalke in 2016 has put a slow start behind him to become one of the most creative attacking players in the Premier League.

He has been an important piece of the jigsaw in Manchester City's success as he is the player that provides them with width on the left flank, with City's injury problems at the left-back position.

His breathtaking pace, fabulous dribbling and ball control has left defenders terrified and gasping for breath. Under Guardiola's tutelage, Sane has gone on to become one of the most feared wingers in World football.

With nine goals and 11 assists to his name this season, the 22-year-old German is a definite contender for the PFA Young Player of the Year award and is one of the favorites to lift the title.

He is also likely to be named on the left wing position in the PFA Team of the Year. His performances over the course of the season have marked him out as one of the players to watch out in the talented German ranks at the World Cup this summer.
