Manchester City starlet Leroy Sane has been named Premier League Player of the Month for October, the first such award the young German has received since joining City in 2016.

Sane played a crucial role in City's 100% winning record in October as the team claimed nine points from nine in their three games, extended their streak of consecutive Premier League victories and opened up a significant lead at the top of the table.

Eight points clear, City will resume their title charge with an away trip to Leicester this weekend after kicking off November with a 3-1 win against Arsenal.
