Recently we covered reports that Aston Villa are keen on signing the 23-year-old and they have submitted an offer for the player as well.
90min are now reporting that Leicester City and Everton are keen on signing the explosive winger.

SL View: Bailey could transform Everton and Leicester
The likes of Everton and Leicester City could definitely use more depth in the wide areas and Bailey would be a sensational signing for them.
The Toffees have recently signed Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray. However, the Leverkusen star would be an upgrade on both players and he could transform the Everton attack next season.
Rafael Benitez has two excellent attackers in Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin at his disposal and signing a top-class winger like Bailey could complete his front three.
Similarly, Leicester City have missed a quality right-sided winger since the departure of Riyad Mahrez and Bailey would be an ideal fit for them.
Apart from his goalscoring ability, the Jamaican is a superb creator and he chipped in with 11 assists across all competitions last season.
The player is valued at €39 million and both clubs are capable of signing him for the reported asking price.
The likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton are keeping tabs on the player as well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
