Chelsea Lead the Race to Sign £40m Superstar Dubbed ‘Next Big Thing’

Schalke youngster Leroy Sane is on route to earning the tag of the ‘next big thing’ in the football world. The 20-year old is one of most highly rated youngsters at the moment and has attracted attentions from a number of clubs.

The likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are said to be interested in signing him. However, recent reports have suggested that Chelsea are currently leading the race to sign him.

The Sun claims that the West London club are currently favourites to sign the 20-year old, who is valued at £40 million by his club.

The report claims that Schalke are expected to sell their valuable asset during the summer in what could be one of the biggest transfers of the transfer window.

Pep Guardiola is also a fan of the youngster, and Man City are expected to compete toe-to-toe with the Blues for his signing.

United and Arsenal were also interested in the player, but they have cooled down their interests upon learning the Schalke’s valuation of their player.
The pacey midfielder, who is already a German international, has scored five goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances for his club.
