According to German media house Kicker, as cited by Sportskeeda, Bayer Leverkusen‘s prodigal talent Leon Bailey has spoken about interest from Premier League. He has said that there has been concrete interest from big clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea in a recent interview to the aforementioned outlet.
Considered as one of the brightest prospects in the world of football, the Jamaican player has been touted to become the next big thing in European football. A number of big name clubs have been rumoured to have a profound interest in the forward and now the 20-year-old has come forward to verify that there is interest from the Reds.
Liverpool have been a club with a rich heritage of making superstars out of young prospects and Leon Bailey should be more than happy to be a part of their squad if there is a bid and Leverkusen accepts it. He has blistering pace to couple with sharp dribbling skills and can be a very handy option for Klopp to use on occasions.
However, with Klopp already bringing in Xherdan Shaqiri this summer, there might be no bid for the youngster from the Reds. Besides, the Champions League finalists from the last term have already shelled out a significant amount to bring in players like Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alisson and Shaqiri, which abruptly puts an end to the speculation that they will go in for another signing in the same transfer window.

With the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino up front and with an experienced campaigner like Shaqiri as the backup, there is no need of another attacker to be added to their squad right now.
