Man City 'consider Leon Bailey swoop'

Manchester City are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Bayer Leverkusen attacker Leon Bailey.

City boss Pep Guardiola is expected to be busy in this summer's transfer window as he looks to put together a team capable of making a challenge for the Champions League next season.

The Citizens have an abundance of talent in the final third of the field, but it is thought that Guardiola wants a new winger to join the club ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

According to Goal.com, Bailey is on the club's wishlist, with the 20-year-old netting 12 times and providing six assists in 32 appearances for Leverkusen this term.

The Jamaican joined Leverkusen from Genk in January 2017 having previously been linked with both Manchester United and Chelsea, and his contract with the Bundesliga club runs until the summer of 2022.
