Manchester City winger Leroy Sane reveals that he is hoping to earn his first Premier League start in the coming weeks.

Manchester City winger Leroy Sane has revealed that he is hoping to earn his first Premier League start for Pep Guardiola's side in the coming weeks.

The 20-year-old moved to the Etihad over the summer but has been restricted to just three appearances in the league - all of them as a substitute - and has been forced to contend with a hamstring injury as he awaits his top-flight debut.

An injury to Kevin De Bruyne has increased Sane's chances of game time, however, and the German is aiming to capitalise on any opportunities afforded to him as a result.

"I'm getting more minutes since coming back from my injury and I can hardly wait to start my first match for Manchester City," he told Deutscher Fussball-Bund. "The atmosphere at the club is something special. I am playing with top-class footballers under Pep Guardiola who wanted to bring me to Manchester.

"It didn't all sink in properly until I watched myself playing for Manchester City on television for the first time, I feel very much at home. I already knew a few players beforehand, but the teammates gave me a very warm welcome.

"They took care of me from the beginning and always asked if I needed any help. Ilkay Gundogan is another German player also new to the team. But as I said, we received the best welcome."

Sane is currently with Germany's Under-21s squad during the international break.
