Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be very keen on Leon Bailey.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted with excitement to reports the club want to sign Leon Bailey.
Leverkusen are reported to have asked Bailey to stay put one more season, and are valuing him at 60 million Euros.
This works out to be £53 million, a similar fee to what Spurs would have to pay to land Wilfried Zaha.
Bailey scored 12 goals for Leverkusen last season, including a couple of stunners from long range.
He added seven assists and at just 20-years-old he has outstanding potential.
The Jamaican born winger has been linked to Chelsea and Liverpool over the past year, and the risk for Tottenham is that if they do not move, then he could land up at a Premier League rival.
Tottenham fans are waiting for the club to make their first move of the summer, and acting quickly to test Leverkusen for Bailey would be a statement of intent.
Spurs need a marquee attacking signing to lead the charge as they move into their new stadium.
They have had their fingers burned buying young attackers Clinton N’Jie and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou in recent seasons and that could make them nervous regarding Bailey.
The fee required to sign him is far higher, and fans are hoping Tottenham decide to take the gamble.
