Leroy Sané would fit in well at Bayern, says his former coach By Rune Gjerulff

Leroy Sané would be a good fit for Bayern München, says Schalke 04's under-19 coach, Norbert Elgert, who worked with the winger when he was a youngster.

Leroy Sané's former coach Norbert Elgert is confident the German international would get on with Bayern München president Uli Hoeness if he ends up joining the Bavarians from Manchester City.





"I think Uli Hoeness likes players like Leroy. He has always got on with players who I'd describe as unadapted in a positive sense: Kahn, Basler, Ribéry, Schweinsteiger. Uli Hoeness would get on well with Leroy," Elgert, the coach of Schalke 04's under-19 team, told Sport Bild.



Sané has had his mentality and attitude questioned from various sides throughout his career, but Schalke's under-19 coach feels the 23-year-old has been misunderstood.



"The public only sees the surface, the facade. Leroy knows exactly where he comes from. At the same time, he's very confident, which you have to be in this industry, but without being arrogant," Elgert explained and added:



"Leroy is not a conformist, but an individualist – a dribbler with something special. He's absolutely a team player. He has matured personality-wise and grown up."



Manchester City paid 50,5 million to sign Sané from Schalke 04 in 2016.
