Fiorentina winger Federico Chiesa admits he's a fan of Manchester City and Leroy Sane.

Chiesa has emerged as one of Italy's brightest young talents over the past 18 months.

He said, “I really like Sane. He plays for Manchester City along with other great champions of the calibre of Kevin De Bruyne. They play beautiful football and I like the way Sane interprets the role."

The 22-year-old German international has contributed 11 goals and 14 assists in 34 competitive games for City this season.

“So I enjoy watching Sane, but also Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and other wingers who with hard work have achieved remarkable objectives.

“I'll say Sane, though, because he is only a year older than me. To see a player of this age doing so well in a team that is targeting Champions League success is wonderful."
