Bayer Leverkusen eye moves for Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin and Tottenham’s Serge Aurier as they look to spend Kai Havertz cash
Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly entered the race to sign Hector Bellerin from Arsenal.
The Gunners could sell the full-back this summer in order to fund some of Mikel Arteta’s transfer targets.
Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Bellerin and are said to have made a £25million bid.
Arsenal are keeping their options open, though, with reporting that Leverkusen are surprise contenders for his signature.
The Bundesliga club have plenty of cash to spend in the transfer window following the sale of Kai Havertz to Chelsea earlier this week.
Havertz was sold to the Blues in a deal worth up to £70million and will likely reinvest some of it into their squad.
Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in the Spaniard, who is not the only Premier League right-back drawing interest from Leverkusen.
The Telegraph report goes on to say that Tottenham’s Serge Aurier is also a player they are actively monitoring.
Spurs have just signed Matt Doherty from Wolves meaning Aurier has slipped further down the pecking order at the north London club.
Leverkusen are thought to be likely to go in for one of Bellerin or Aurier plus they need to replace the attacking threat of Havertz heading into the 2020/21 season.
