Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey, a target for Manchester United.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, club director Johan Lange is personally driving a move for Aston Villa star Leon Bailey.
Bailey has been linked with Manchester United as well, and the Jamaican winger, who cost Aston Villa £25 million, could prove to be a useful acquisition for both clubs. The player has shown his quality in the Premier League since the move to the West Midlands club, and he will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the attack.
Tottenham need more quality on the flanks, and signing the Aston Villa attacker would be a wise decision. It is evident that he is not a key player for the West Midlands club anymore, and they have already brought Marcus Rashford to add more creativity and goals to the side.
In addition, Marco Asensio is on the verge of joining Aston Villa from Tottenham. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to let the Jamaican move on before the January window closes amid his links with Tottenham and Manchester United.
Manchester United and Tottenham need attacking signings
Manchester United need attacking reinforcements as well. The Red Devils have allowed Rashford and Antony to leave the club this month, and they need to replace both players. Bailey is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could help Manchester United improve in the final third. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat Manchester United to his signature.
The North London club have endured a disappointing season so far, and they will look to bounce back strongly. It will be interesting to see if they can secure a place in European football next season. They need to bring in the right players this month to do well, and Johan Lange is pushing to land Bailey.
Timo Werner and Richarlison have not been able to make the desired impact this season, and Tottenham need to bring in alternatives. The Aston Villa star could prove to be an upgrade on both players.
The Jamaican might be keen on a fresh start, and a move to Tottenham could be an exciting opportunity. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be an attractive destination for the player as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
