Germany coach Joachim Low believes the Bundesliga would only benefit if Leroy Sane returned.

The Manchester City star is believed to be closing in on a return to his home country, with reports in Germany on Wednesday claiming that he wants to join Bayern Munich in January.

And Low has welcomed the 23-year-old’s potential departure from the Premier League as a boost for German football.

‘He’s got many special skills and a completely unique style of play. He would be an attraction for the Bundesliga’, he said.

‘The Bundesliga needs to watch out – the international ranking doesn’t look too good because in recent years the league fell behind a bit. Sane could maintain the attractiveness of the Bundesliga.’

Sane has been out of Germany since leaving Schalke for Manchester City in the summer of 2016.

He is currently recovering from a serious knee injury suffered in August, which scuppered his chance a move to Bayern in the summer.
