Arsenal, Liverpool target Brandt eases Bayer Leverkusen exit talk

Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt insists he won't push to leave this summer.

It's been revealed Brandt's deal carries a €25m buyout clause - which has alerted the likes of long-term suitors Arsenal and Liverpool.

However, the youngster is adamant he won't force a move away.

"I am here and have a contract (to 2021)," he said after victory over Freiburg.

"As long as I can continue to play with the boys, there is no reason for me to get impatient."
