Huddersfield boss Wagner: I told Klopp to sign Sane

Huddersfield boss David Wagner is a big fan of Manchester City midfielder Leroy Sane.

Before today's 0-0 FA Cup draw, Wagner says he urged his best friend Jurgen Klopp to sign him.

“I knew him early," said Wagner, who delivered his recommendation to Klopp when the two men were at Borussia Dortmund.

“He was more of a character because of his age and it was part of my job to mention the big talents of Germany to Jurgen.

“I made him aware of him for the first team of Dortmund, but he signed for Schalke."
