According to a report from Matteo Moretto, Bayer Leverkusen are one of several clubs around Europe courting Owen Emeka.

Transfer specialist Moretto understands that Emeka's contract at Spanish side Granada CF includes a release clause of just €15million.

In recent weeks, numerous top clubs have also set their sights on the right winger, including AC Milan, Arsenal and Newcastle United.

The Rhineland outfit are ambitiously planning to lure the Spanish U-18 international with the help of numerous compatriots.

Besides coach Carles Martínez, three other players from the squad in Miguel Gutiérrez, Lucas Vázquez and Aleix García are Spanish.

Whether they can do their part to convince Emeka to join Leverkusen is another question given the 17-year-old's contract situation.

Back in April, when Real Madrid, among others, were interested, Granada extended their contract with their top talent until 2031.
