Three Premier League clubs are said to be keen on Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt, who is contracted to the German club until 2019.

Chelsea looked to sign the 20-year old a couple of years ago when he moved to Bayer from Wolfsburg, and both Liverpool and Manchester City are also reportedly showing interest, according to German outlet Express.

Brandt is a regular for his club side and has made 14 appearances in all competitions this season. Despite his youth, he has also made a handful of appearances for Germany and was named in the 27-man preliminary squad for Euro 2016, eventually turning out for the Olympic football side in Rio as they claimed a silver medal.

Considered to be one of the most promising youngsters in world football, he is said to have a £10.75 release clause which can be exercised in two years team.

He is also attracting interest from outside the Premier League, with Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Juventus also monitoring the situation of the winger.

Brandt's father acts as his agent and anticipates negotiations with Bayer at the end of the season.

He said:

"We are always in touch with Bayer. I think that we'll get together in the summer of 2017 at the latest to decide how to go on. I can understand that Leverkusen want clarity."

Brandt featured in both games against Tottenham in the Champions League this season, including starting in the recent 1-0 win at Wembley.
