Liverpool convinced Bayer Leverkusen winger Bailey better prospect than Lemar

Liverpool are joining the scramble for Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.

The Mirror says the 20-year-old attacker is the Bundesliga's hottest property with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all regularly scouting the highly-rated youngster.

And Liverpool have now joined the race for Bailey, with Monaco target Thomas Lemar no longer of interest — as we told you last week.

Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp believes £90million-rated midfielder Lemar is heading elsewhere in the summer, with Spanish giants Barcelona his first choice destination.

But Bailey won't come cheap either — sources in Germany claim Leverkusen bosses want a staggering £100m for their jet-heeled star.
