Premier League champions Manchester City are weighing up a summer move for Bayer Leverkusen forward Leon Bailey.
The Jamaican, who is close friends with Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi has caught the eye since his move to Leverkusen from Genk las summer and according to Goal, Pep Guardiola’s side is now eyeing up a move for him.
The 20-year-old has scored nine goals and laid on six assists in the Bundesliga this season.
City have been keeping tabs on the Jamaican for some time and included him on a four-man list of targets in January.
They have maintained their interest since then and while other players have fallen out of contention, Bailey is still regarded as a viable option.
However, City are not thought to have made any concrete moves to open negotiations and they are still believed to be in a position whereby another club could make a rival move.
The Blues want a midfielder and a forward this summer and are keen to get their business done before the World Cup, but while they are close to bringing in Jorginho they are still weighing up their options in attack.
