Leroy Sane – Winger

The young German is an incredible talent. His combination of speed, strength, and skill already makes him one of the best wingers in the league. The way he can dance past defenders and smash a ball home with that left foot of his is mesmerizing at times.

Saint fans got to see this first hand back in November, when Sane got himself a goal and an assist. Paired with Raheem Sterling, the two can leave defenders in the dust and undoubtedly Hasenhuttl has been preparing the back line to deal with the pair out wide and when they cut inside as well.
