Sane tipped to take City by storm

Manchester City have not been shy in splashing the cash this summer, but Kevin De Bruyne believes Leroy Sane is the new signing the fans will fall in love with.

New boss Pep Guardiola has been busy reshaping his squad with an outlay of more than £160million with John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan and Nolito among the new faces.

But it is 20-year-old winger Sane, a £37m acquisition from Schalke, that De Bruyne feels could make the greatest impact on the blue half of Manchester.

“Leroy Sane is a class player. I want him to shine with my assists,” said De Bruyne, credited with nine Premier League assists last term.

“My aim is the title. To reach this it’s important, we have new players like Sane or Gundogan.”

De Bruyne admits his eye has also been caught by the transfer activity going on down the road at Old Trafford.

And he expects the city rivals to be battling for the Premier League title, with Chelsea and Arsenal also in the mix.

“Manchester United are strong again with Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic,” added the former Chelsea star.

“Players like these help the league. But I think Chelsea and Arsenal will be strong, too.”
