Leroy Sane: Grade – C-

The young German International moved to City this summer amid a great deal of speculation and fanfare. The player was at German club Schalke 04 before making the move to Manchester, and was one of the most sought after attacking talents in world football. Despite his price tag of £37 million, the player has featured in only seven games for City in the league so far. This is largely due to his age in my opinion (he is only 20) and his inexperience with the Premier League. While the player has only been given three starts with the rest being sub appearances, he still has an assist on the stat sheet. I give him a C- for now, but Sane is a player for the future, and I believe he will prove himself as his chances increase and he becomes more familiar with English football.
