Man City tracking Genk starlet Leon Bailey

Manchester City are tracking Genk forward Leon Bailey.

The Sunday Mirror says the 19-year-old scored twice against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League and, last season, was named the best young footballer in Belgium.

Bailey, a Jamaica Under-23 international, arrived in Genk in 2015 and national chiefs are already running checks to see if he would consider committing to Belgium.

City are among number of clubs showing an interest, with Spanish and Italian sides also monitoring Bailey's form.

His release clause is around £3.2million.
