The 2018/19 Premier League campaign is nearing closer and ahead of Manchester City defending their title, Leroy Sane has named his sides biggest threat.

Manchester City were crowned English champions, last season, after a scintillating term under Pep Guardiola's tutelage.

City won the league at a canter, winning an incredible 32 games amassing a ridiculous 100 points, 19 points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester United.

Not to mention 30 (!!) points clear of Chelsea.

However, following Chelsea's managerial appointment of Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri, Sane believes they're the biggest threat to City in the new season.

"I think Chelsea because they have brought a really good coach," the German winger replied when asked about City's biggest threat.

Sane added: "If you have seen how Napoli played last season, it was really, really attractive and really good. We really suffered against them.

"They will need some time to get really used to his tactics. They could be really tough."

Sane also gives a shout out to Liverpool who have heavily recruited in the summer, drafting in the likes of Fabinho, Alisson as well as Naby Keita, among others.

"Also Liverpool too - they bought really good players. They could be really strong next season."
