After much speculation, Manchester City’s swoop for young German winger Leroy Sané appears to be closing in on completion.

The tweet seems to concur with the numerous reports that today will be the day Sané puts pen-to-paper in a move worth nearly €40 million.
Sané is currently undergoing a medical after the two teams finally agreed an initial fee, whilst a deal could be announced later on Monday, or Tuesday, according to James Ducker of the Telegraph.
Reports in Germany however say the deal has been done, with Pit Gottschalk of Sport Bild reporting that Manchester City will pay €48 million, which could rise to €55m.
