A report claims that Arsenal will battle Barcelona for the signature of Schalke 04's 20-year-old attacker Leroy Sane at the end of the season.

Barcelona and Arsenal will reportedly go head to head for the signing of Schalke 04 attacker Leroy Sane at the end of the season.

The 20-year-old only signed a new four-year contract with Schalke last summer, but that has not stopped a whole host of speculation surrounding his future.

Manchester City are also believed to be interested in the German, but the Premier League club were warned that they 'could not afford' the attacker in the January transfer window.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the situation surrounding Sane is expected to change this summer and Arsenal are prepared to rival Barcelona for the youngster's signature.

Sane, who has one Germany cap to his name, has scored six times for Schalke this season.
