Everton are reportedly keen on Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey and have sent scouts to watch him in the Europa League against Rangers today.
The Jamaican international was also scouted last month against Bayern Munich, and the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United also had representatives at the game.
Everton need to boost their attack if they are to become a top-six side anytime soon, and landing Bailey could be a good move.
Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on the speed demon, and he wants to play in the Premier League next season.
The Toffees have been linked with the likes of Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, with the Eagles ready to sell him for £30 million.
They can get Bailey, 22, for around £20 million, and Everton fans are hoping that a move for him can be sealed this summer, with some of them reacting thus to the reports on Twitter:
Even though zaha is going for £30M this lad is younger so I’d rather take him
