Left Midfielder – Leroy Sane

Despite just one goal in his last five Premier League appearances, Sane’s ability and effort is crucial to the team’s success. The 21-year-old is hard to defend against, due to his raw pace and his skill with the ball at his feet. He has tallied eight goals and four assists in all competitions this season, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Even with a successful first season in Manchester, I feel the future is even brighter for the German.
