Leon Bailey reveals 'concrete interest' in transfer

Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey has suggested that there is "concrete interest" from both Chelsea and Liverpool in securing his signature this summer.

The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Bundesliga in recent months, with reports claiming that the Blues had prioritised a £40 million ($52m) move for the winger, after missing out on Malcom, who joined Barcelona from Bordeaux.

Bailey has impressed during his time at Leverkusen, making a total of 44 appearances and scoring 12 goals, while also laying on seven assists.

Capable of playing on both the left and the right flank, Bailey has been marked out as a star-in-the-making, and he has suggested that there are Premier League clubs interested in luring him away from Germany.
