Harry Kane to lose a key Bayern Munich team-mate? Arsenal eyeing free transfer for Leroy Sane as Mikel Arteta plots summer reunion with former Man City winger

According to a report from Sport BILD, Arteta is keen on reuniting with Sane and wants to bring the Bayern Munich winger to Arsenal for free this summer. Sane's contract with Bayern will expire at the end of the season and it is unlikely that he will renew with the club.

In recent weeks, Sane has shown visible improvement in his performances, although his end product has left a lot to be desired. As things stand, the Bavarians have not yet offered a new deal to the Germany international, and that is unlikely to change before the end of summer. However, Sane is believed to share a cordial relationship with Bayern sporting direct Max Eberl. The 29-year-old will have to take a massive pay cut (he currently earns around €20m per year) in order to prolong his career at the Allianz Arena.

Sane has attracted interest from England, with Arsenal reportedly considering a move for the Bayern Munich winger. According to the report, Arteta, who is familiar with Sane from his time as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City, sees him as a potential addition. The north London club are looking to add depth to their forward line, and with Sane set to become a free agent, he could be an ideal fit.

Sane was an unused substitute on Tuesday during Bayern Munich's second leg clash against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16. Vincent Kompany's side progressed to the quarter-finals 5-0 on aggregate and will meet Inter in the last eight. Sane will be expected to feature in Bayern's upcoming fixture, a Bundesliga match against Union Berlin on Saturday.
