Arsenal and Tottenham in Race to Sign Bayern's Leroy Sané as Contract Nears End

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have initiated talks with the representatives of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané, whose contract with the German club is set to expire this summer. The 29-year-old German international, known for his pace and flair, has attracted interest from both North London clubs as they look to bolster their squads for the upcoming season, according to a report by TBR Football.

Sané, who previously worked with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta during their time at Manchester City, could be swayed by their past relationship. However, Tottenham is also in the race, hoping to add the versatile forward to their attacking options. Despite interest from abroad, Sané has expressed a preference to stay with Bayern, where he has been since 2020. Recent reports from Bavarian Football Works indicate that Bayern plans to hold contract talks with Sané after the international break, with the player open to a performance-based deal.
