Man Utd, Spurs target Bailey signs with English management firm

Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey has signed up with an English management firm to earn a move to the Premier League.

The Daily Mail says Bailey has put his Premier League suitors on alert by teaming up with English management company Unique Sports Management.

Bayer Leverkusen star Bailey will now be represented by his father Craig Butler's Phoenix Sports Management and the leading Hertfordshire-based agency, joining their list of clients that includes the likes of Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Chelsea's Reece James, West Ham talisman Michail Antonio and Newcastle's star striker Callum Wilson.

Bailey becomes the latest eye-catching addition to the roster of USM who also snapped up former England defender Sol Campbell in a bid to help him further his managerial career.

Manchester United, Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal have all run the rule over the in-form Bailey this season.

The Jamaica winger has scored nine goals and set up seven more in just 19 appearances for Leverkusen, inspiring his club to second place in the Bundesliga and top spot in their Europa League group to reach the knockout stages.
