Bayer Leverkusen football director Tim Steidten is attracting major Premier League interest.

The 43-year-old is considered one of Europe's leading talent spotters. At Bayer, he was involved in the signings of Piero Hincapie, Edmond Tapsoba, Jeremie Frimpong, Moussa Diaby and Florian Wirtz.

Football Insider claims Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are showing interest in Steidten. AS Monaco is also in the picture.

And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting Steidten will be leaving Bayer this summer.

Liverpool need to replace departing sporting director Julian Ward, while Spurs and United could move for the German to strengthen their recruitment team.
