Arsenal<\/a> have expressed interest in signing ex-Manchester City winger Leroy Sane and Mikel Arteta<\/a> is fully supportive of the move, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are expected to sign a new striker this summer<\/a> after struggling in that area of the pitch this season.<\/p>\n

No Arsenal player has reached double figures this term, with injured forward Kai Havertz<\/a> the club’s top goalscorer with nine in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were doubts over Havertz’s goalscoring credentials but Arsenal have naturally looked even more toothless in front of goal since the Germany international suffered a serious hamstring injury<\/a>, ruling him out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen<\/a> – but up front is not the only area Arteta is keen to strengthen.<\/p>\n

The north London side have also struggled in wide areas this season, with Bukayo Saka still out injured<\/a> and the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling underwhelming.<\/p>\n

German outlet Bild <\/a>say Arsenal are looking for reinforcements in the winger position and have turned to Bayern Munich’s Sane.<\/p>\n

Leroy Sane could return to the Premier League (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sane, 29, has enjoyed five productive seasons at Bayern since leaving Manchester City in 2020<\/a>, making over 200 appearances for the German giants.<\/p>\n

The three-time Bundesliga winner continues to be an influential figure at the Allianz Arena – making 33 appearances this season in all competitions – but could be coming to the end of his time in Munich.<\/p>\n

Unless he signs a new deal in the next few months, Sane will become a free agent in the summer, giving him the chance to join another club on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have registered interest in signing Sane, according to Bild, and believe the German winger would be an ideal addition to Arteta’s squad at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Arteta knows Sane well, having worked with him while he was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Sane enjoyed a considerable amount of success at the Etihad, lifting two Premier League titles, three League Cups and the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
