Arsenal, Manchester United 'to scout Leon Bailey on Thursday'

Arsenal and Manchester United will reportedly both scout Bayer Leverkusen attacker Leon Bailey during Thursday's Europa League clash with Slavia Prague.

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring five times and contributing six assists in 14 appearances in all competitions.

Bailey has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and according to the Daily Mail, scouts from both Arsenal and United will be keeping a close eye on his performance in the Europa League.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also expected to scout the attacker ahead of potential approaches in 2021.

Leverkusen are in a strong position when it comes to the Jamaica international's future as the Bundesliga giants have him on a contract until the summer of 2023.

Bailey, who largely operates as a right-sided attacker, has scored 29 times and registered 21 assists since arriving at BayArena from Genk in January 2017.
