Leroy Sane has declared Chelsea to be the biggest threat to Manchester City's title defence after the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as Blues boss, with fans reacting to the statement.

The Manchester City wide-man feels that Chelsea will push the Citizens next term and was quoted saying: "If you have seen how Napoli played last season, it was really, really attractive and really good. We really suffered against them. They could be really tough."




The Blues finished 30 points adrift of the champions in fifth place last season, but Sane thinks things could be different for Chelsea under Sarri. Twitter user Ladislav Szabon reminded people of Manchester City's encounters against Liverpool, with Reds fan Munier Salie agreeing with him.
 

 


Manchester United supporter Parth Pandya too joined in, reminding Sane of Manchester City's loss to Manchester United after leading 2-0 at half time.

 

 

 


Rutaboy21 opined that Chelsea will 'never' be Napoli and says that they are likely to struggle this upcoming season.
 

 

Despite the banter from other quarters, Sane has earned an admirer in Blues fan David Patterson, who likes the 'lad even more now'.

While Connor Parnell backed the player's assessment, Sibeethehibee is putting his money on Wolverhampton Wanderers this year.
