They sent him on loan to West Brom and he couldn't get a game there.

After doing some club hopping he is now playing with his old friends together at a top club. Kimmich and him already played together some years in Stuttgart youth - Sane, Gnabry, S?le, Kimmich and Goretzka met early in the youth national teams. In some years they will be the backbones and captains of that team. I see others coming and going - but I guess not this guys.
I saw some picture on 433 where Gnabry and Kimmich were best friends at age 10 or 11 together. Awesome to see them lift a CL trophy together 15 years later, having both taken completely different paths to the top and to chase their dreams, but meeting again years later at the pinnacle of German football (Bayern)

Goretzka and Sane grew up only some kilometres away and met with 11 in the same local secondary school playing for the school team. They had different paths, too, but later met as young players at Schalke.

I think that particular horse has already bolted.

A good story from him in the Player's Tribune where he tells about his way

So to be able to wear that red Bayern kit now, for real … it’s amazing. But remember, it’s not just me. I came up playing on youth teams with my boys Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Nicklas S?le. On top of that guys like David Alaba who really became a close friend. So sometimes when things are hard, and I need some motivation, I literally look around at those guys in the dressing room, and I think to myself, “Do you realize that you’re playing for the Bayern first team? You and your boys … you’re all really here. Do you actually realize it? S***, this is crazy.
We all took different paths. But we all got to the other side of the corridor.”

I opened this thinking I would never finish reading the whole thing, but I was wrong. What a beautifully written piece. Brought a tear to my eye.

This is the Bayern winger we should be after, not Coman, who is more injury prone than Dembele. Imagine how Arsenal fans feel, selling him for just 5M to Bremen, LOL!
