Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have had conversations with Leroy Sane’s representatives, TBR Football can reveal.
Former Manchester City winger Sane is out of contract at Bayern Munich this summer fueling speculation over his long-term future.
The 29-year-old left the Premier League to join Bayern back in 2020, where he has now made 211 appearances, scoring 59 goals in the process.
Sane has been praised by Harry Kane this season, a winger who has enjoyed an upturn in fitness and form since Vincent Kompany’s arrival.
And given that Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Sane, the prospect of a Premier League return for the winger has often been mooted.
Arsenal and Tottenham have held Leroy Sane discussions
That being said, TBR chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Sane has held talks with a number of clubs in England, even if discussions with Bayern are also continuing.
It’s understood that prior to Christmas, Sane had decided that he wanted to leave Bayern – but things have changed in recent months.

Having persuaded Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala to sign new deals, the German club could follow that up with a new contract for Sane.
Thomas Muller is in the midst of his final season at the Allianz Arena and Bayern are pushing for Sane to stay.
Sources confirm that both Arsenal and Tottenham have had conversations with Sane’s camp, whilst the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa were also approached.
However, as things stand, no club has made a firm contract offer to Sane, with many believing that his preference is to remain in the Bundesliga with Bayern.
Pep Guardiola’s bold Leroy Sane verdict
Of course, a lot of Premier League fans will predominantly remember Sane from his illustrious years at Man City.
Sane made 135 appearances for City, winning two Premier League titles.
And when speaking about the prospect of the German playing centrally for City back in 2019, Guardiola actually claimed that Sane was the best in the world out wide.
Guardiola said: “Playing in the middle he can do it. But I think he’s better out wide.
“I’m not saying he can’t (play in the middle) but at the moment we have better players to do that job.
“But Leroy is best playing in the world out wide. I’d prefer to use him where he is strongest, he’s an incredible player.”
A superb talent, and one who would be remarkable signing for Arsenal or Tottenham were he to decide to return to England.
