Arsenal fans erupt after Leroy Sane transfer update - 'here we go'

Yesterday at 08:42 AM

Leroy Sane has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich and Arsenal fans have now reacted to an update regarding a potential move.

Arsenal decided against to bringing in an attacker in the January transfer window despite key injuries to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

Shortly after the window closed, Gabriel Martinelli was hit with a hamstring injury and Kai Havertz was ruled out for the remainder of the season, with Mikel Merino having to step in as a makeshift number nine.

Arsenal fans expressed their frustration with club owner Stan Kroenke, blaming the decision to not secure attacking reinforcements. Many believe this has severely hindered the club's push for the Premier League title, with the gap now looking difficult to close as they are 15 points behind Liverpool.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the Gunners are expected to focus on strengthening their attacking options. Reports suggest they may already have their sights set on a familiar face in the form of a winger well known to Mikel Arteta.

Leroy Sane set to leave Bayern Munich with Arsenal showing interest

German outlet BILD Sport's Christian Falk has revealed that the North London club are “interested” in a move for Sane, as there are currently “no negotiations” between the player and Bayern regarding a new contract.

The 29-year-old will be a free agent come the summer, and Arteta is no stranger to working with the forward, having previously coached him at Manchester City.

It’s not the first time the forward has been linked with a move back to England, as Football Insider revealed back in October that Arsenal were still interested in Sane after failing to land him in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle were also linked with a sensational move for Sane, but with Anthony Gordon having signed a new contract, those rumours have since quietened.

Arsenal fans voice concerns over 'another Raheem Sterling' amid Leroy Sane speculation

Despite the growing transfer talk, Sane has continued to play a regular role for Bayern Munich, though mainly as a rotation option.

He has started just 12 Bundesliga matches this season, but across 34 appearances, he has contributed eight goals and four assists in 1,711 minutes.

However, supporters have expressed disappointment to the potential signing, with some drawing comparisons to the deal that saw Raheem Sterling join the club in the summer.

Arsenal fans have been left unimpressed with Sterling this season, and some feel that bringing in Sane would be a similar move, given his age and his previous working relationship with Arteta at City.

One fan described the possible deal as "horrific" while another questioned whether the club had learned anything from the struggles seen with Sterling, saying, "So we didn't learn anything from signing Sterling."
