Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski sends ominous message amid Leroy Sane transfer speculation

Striker Robert Lewandowski believes Bayern Munich aren't done in the transfer window yet and has hailed reported target Leroy Sane as a 'great player.'

Sane has been heavily linked with a move away from Man City this summer following a disappointing season for the winger, after falling out of favour with Blues boss Pep Guardiola.

The German still managed to make a massive contribution to City's historic, treble winning campaign, scoring 16 goals, including the crucial winner again Liverpool . But he started only three times in City's last 12 games.

As a result speculation suggests that Sane may leave the Etihad this summer and Bayern Munich appear to be the biggest suitors.

The German champions are looking to rejuvenate this squad this summer after a poor campaign which saw an early Champions League exit and just a narrow league victory.

They've already spent over £100m on new defenders Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez and are said to be looking to add new forwards following the departure of club legends Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery.

Lewandowski believes Bayern will make more signings and backs Sane to be one of them.

"I know something is going to happen," he told Kicker of Bayern's plans in the transfer window.

On Sane he added: "This [Sane] is a great player with great quality and potential, I've seen how good he has been many times, and those players can get you up from the very first game and improve the team.

"We need a quality that immediately makes Bayern a step better, you have no time at Bayern, you have to bring the quality of the whole team on the first matchday."
