Sane delighted with arrival of former Leicester star Mahrez at City

Leroy Sane is relishing the chance to link up with Riyad Mahrez after the Algeria international swapped Leicester City for Manchester City.

Mahrez had long been linked with a move to Etihad Stadium, with a January switch failing to materialise.

Pep Guardiola returned for the 27-year-old this month as the Premier League champions shelled out a reported £60 million ($80m) for the winger – a club record .

And Sane is delighted to have Mahrez lining up alongside him in 2018-19, having been frustrated by the 2016 PFA Player's Player of the Year in previous campaigns.
