According to Kicker, Die Werkself are on the lookout for a flexible attacking player with the ability to play as a central striker.
The main reason for this is that Victor Bonifce will be going to the Africa Cup of Nations in January, leaving Patrik Schick, who recently returned from a long-term injury, as the only natural striker in the squad.
In light of this, a flexible striker would be a useful addition to the squad, even after Boniface returns from the Africa Cup of Nations.
"We are keeping a close eye on the situation," Bayer 04 sporting director Simon Rolfes was quoted as saying by Kicker.
He added that Leverkusen want to take a " carefully measured" approach with Schick.
