Robert Lewandowski is backing Bayern Munich's move for Manchester City attacker Leroy Sane.

As he continues to duck new contract talks, Sane is emerging as a top summer target for Bayern.

And Poland striker Lewandowski admits he's excited by the prospect.

He told BILD: "This is a super player with great qualities and great potential.

"This is a player who can take us straight up, improving the team.

"If one comes, he has to help directly to make us better with his quality. You do not have time to develop someone two years here. You have to bring the quality of the team up from the first game."
