# Liverpool: Fans react to transfer links to Leon Bailey

**Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to a transfer link with Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey, after Goal delivered a transfer round-up on the Reds’ summer targets.**

According to [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/liverpool-transfer-targets-news-rumours/1ljbg0oqqjbwh1p4rk45t2sc7l), Liverpool are finished in the January transfer window after the capture of Takumi Minamino, who made his debut vs Everton in the FA Cup.

However, they are eyeing some summer targets already, such as Sevilla’s Diego Carlos and Leverkusen’s Bailey.

The Jamaica international, 22, can play on both flanks and is valued at £33.3m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-bailey/profil/spieler/387626).

He has [four goals and one assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/327682/Show/Leon-Bailey) this season and has drawn attention in the past for his electric speed and [audacious finishing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUdm1VF--s).

\[freshpress-poll id=”271294″\]

Per [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/327682/Show/Leon-Bailey), the youngster is averaging 1.5 shots, 1.4 key passes and 2.1 dribbles per game this season.

Jadon Sancho, who is also mentioned as a target in [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/liverpool-transfer-targets-news-rumours/1ljbg0oqqjbwh1p4rk45t2sc7l)’s report, [averages](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/346300/Show/Jadon-Sancho) 1.9 shots, 1.9 key passes and 2.9 dribbles, so Bailey could perhaps be considered a cheaper alternative with more room to develop under Jurgen Klopp.
