Manchester City’s summer signing has hailed his Spanish team-mate, while revealing the presence of Pep Guardiola was key in his decision to join the club
Manchester City winger Leroy Sane has hailed David Silva’s vision and feels there are few players who read the game as well as the Spain international.
Sane joined City from Schalke ahead of the 2016-17 campaign and he is impressed with the star-studded squad he has linked up with at the Etihad Stadium.
“Here, the quality is incredible. All the players at City are famous players who play for their national team. So the technical quality here is high,” Sane told the official City website.
“David Silva has impressed me a lot because if you see how he plays, he always knows what he has to do next. If you see the boxes [passing drills in training], he is never in the box!
“He is one of the players that really impressed me so far. He can read the game very well. He can see where everything is, he knows where to turn so that he has time. He can play one-touch and two-touch football.”
“It feels very, very good [to be wanted by Guardiola],” he added.
“I was very happy when I found out he wanted me to play for him at Manchester City. It was a very quick decision for me to say I wanted to come here.
