Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey is interested in moving to the Premier League
Leon Bailey still wants to move to the Premier League before the transfer window closes, and Sky Sports News has said Tottenham is interested.
The 23-year-old Bailey has three years left on his current contract with Leverkusen, but has made it clear since early July that he would like to play in the Premier League.
The Spurs have seen the Jamaica international who is a good friend of Raheem Sterling, although the asking price of just over 40 million pounds (45 million euros) will have to go down if they want to follow that interest.
Everton have also been linked with Bailey, who has impressed since moving from Belgian Genk for £ 12.5 million in January 2017.
Bayer Leverkusen asks just over £ 40m for Jamaica international
He scored seven goals in 33 appearances for Leverkusen last season and has been timed as the fastest player in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich came close to agreeing to a £ 55 million move for Bailey in 2018 before the deal fell through.
The Kingston-born player was eligible to play for England due to two of his grandparents holding British passports and he was being monitored by England boss Gareth Southgate before finally opting to represent his native Jamaica.
He made his debut for Jamaica against Honduras in June 2019.
