Arsenal have enquired about signing Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane on a free transfer this summer. However, their fierce north London rivals Tottenham have also been linked with the ex-Man City winger

Arsenal have officially made an enquiry about the potential signing of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané on a free transfer this summer, according to fresh reports from the press conference circuit. However, the Gunners are not alone in the race, with fierce North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur also monitoring the situation closely.
Sané’s Future at Bayern Uncertain
Sané, whose contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire in 2025, has yet to agree an extension with the German champions. With talks reportedly stalling, speculation around his next move has intensified — and it appears the Premier League could be a likely destination.
The former Manchester City star is understood to be open to a return to England, and both Arsenal and Tottenham have now expressed interest in securing his signature should he become available for free this summer.
Arsenal’s Ambition to Strengthen in Attack
With Andrea Berta stepping in as Arsenal’s new sporting director and Mikel Arteta keen to add further attacking options, Sané has emerged as a potential target to bolster the Gunners’ frontline. His pace, creativity, and experience at the highest level make him an appealing option for Arsenal, especially given his proven track record in the Premier League.
A source close to the club confirmed during today’s press conference:
> “Arsenal have made initial enquiries regarding the possibility of signing Leroy Sané on a free transfer. The club are keeping a close eye on the situation and are aware of rival interest from Tottenham.”
Tottenham Also in the Frame
Tottenham are also said to be monitoring developments, with Ange Postecoglou eager to add a marquee name to his attack this summer. Spurs see Sané as a player who could provide immediate quality and versatility in the final third, particularly with questions surrounding the future of several current forwards.
A Potential North London Tug-of-War
If Sané does decide to leave Bayern, the battle for his signature could become one of the standout transfer stories of the summer. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are likely to present compelling cases, with Arsenal offering Champions League football and a clear project under Arteta, while Spurs can offer a key role in their attacking rebuild under Postecoglou.
What’s Next?
Sané is expected to make a decision on his future after the conclusion of Euro 2024, where he is part of Germany’s squad. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are preparing to step up their interest depending on how the winger’s contract situation unfolds in the coming weeks.
