Manchester City star Leroy Sane made it to the Brit last week to Stoke City's 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

The Sentinel says Sane was incognito in the crowd cheering on his pal Maxim Choupo-Moting against City's rivals, having already given the advice to tempt him to England.

Choupo-Moting said: "I spoke with Sane, [Loris] Karius, [Joel] Matip and [Sead] Kolasinac, they all told me coming to the Premier League would be a great challenge and experience for me.

"In fact, Leroy Sane came to watch me score the two goals against Manchester United."

He added: "It had always been my ambition to play in the most-watched league in the world.

“It's every footballer's dream. I wanted a new adventure. I took my time deciding my move as I spoke with several Champions League and Europa League clubs but Stoke gave me the best feeling. I like the area and my family is happy."
