Arsenal's search for attacking recruits goes on in the summer transfer window, with links to Real Madrid hero Rodrygo and RB Leipzig youngster Benjamin Sesko ramping up in the past few days - but journalist Ben Jacobs has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT that they are certainly in the race for Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane, with his future still undecided.
Sane is set to see his contract expire in a month's time, where he currently earns £325,000-per-week at the Allianz Arena - and having scored 11 league goals to register his best league tally yet in Bavaria, it means that he's quite a coveted target for most teams in need of a winger.
Jacobs: Arsenal Have 'Certainly' Looked at Leroy Sane

Arsenal are interested, with backup needed for Bukayo Saka and genuine first-team competition sought-after for Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard - and Sane would be the ideal foil to strengthen their ranks and bolster their squad.

The Gunners are unsurprisingly interested in the 'superstar', and despite Jacobs revealing that Bayern are in talks with the German international to extend his deal, he's also in talks with various clubs - and that has given him leverage in talks with the Bundesliga champions, where he could decide upon a move to north London. Jacobs said:
"Leroy Sane is currently in talks with Bayern over potentially extending his contract. Suitors are alert to the opportunity, but also aware there is a chance Sane simply stays.
"Sane has been offered about to various clubs, and this has also given him plenty of leverage with Bayern.
"Arsenal are certainly one of the clubs who have looked at Sane. I am hearing less noise around Sane and Spurs at this stage, but part of the reason why was because the player wants Champions League football and up until a few days ago, Tottenham couldn’t offer that.
"Let’s see if anything materialises now the season has ended, but Bayern haven’t yet given up hope of Sane penning fresh terms."
Sane spent four years at Manchester City, and although his final campaign saw him feature in just two games after a lengthy injury, the three full campaigns he had under Pep Guardiola saw him register 39 goals and 44 assists in just 133 games.
89 of those came in the Premier League, with 55 contributions - and so it's no question whether he can perform well in the English top-flight.
