#4 Leroy Sane - Manchester City

One of the first purchases of the Pep Guardiola revolution, Leroy Sane was brought to Manchester City in 2016 for £37m from Schalke 04. While he made a slow start to his Premier League career, he is now an integral part of the free-flowing City attack having found the back of the net 6 times and assisting 6 more goals this season.

Sane is a traditional winger, who provides genuine width on the pitch and has a knack for cutting in and taking shots at goal. His pace and trickery make him a nightmare for Premier League defenders.

In 2017, the ex-Schalke winger was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award losing out to Dele Alli.

Aged just 21, Sane is expected to light up the blue side of Manchester for years to come and with coach Guardiola a huge fan, his departure would be a massive loss to the team.
