Bayer Leverkusen has targeted Brighton's 17-year-old talent, Harry Howell, who plays as an attacking midfielder and winger for the Under-21 team. The German club has initiated contact with the player's entourage, showing considerable interest in a deal planned for next summer. It is reported that the Leverkusen management has a very high opinion of the English youngster and considers him an ideal profile to strengthen their attack. Negotiations have already started, and while other German clubs have also shown appreciation for the player from Brighton's youth system, Bayer Leverkusen is currently considered to be the furthest ahead in pursuing him due to their well-defined strategy.
