"Leroy is an extremely talented football player, who already proved last season how versatile he is in attack," explained manager Horst Heldt.
The attacking midfielder made 14 Bundesliga appearances and bagged three goals. He also found the back of the net on his Champions League debut at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Schalke's 4-3 victory over Real Madrid. "Based on his development and enormous potential we are very happy about the fact that Leroy wants to build his future here," continued Heldt.

His first football club was SG Wattenscheid 09, in a neighbouring city to Gelsenkirchen, where he played between 2001 and 2005. Last season Sanè won the German Championship with S04's U19 side.
