Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby has admitted that he's "thinking about" the interest shown in him from bigger clubs in England and Spain.

The French winger has been in remarkable form for the Bundesliga side this season, bagging 16 goals and nine assists in 35 games for the club.

As such, Diaby has seen his name linked with a number of Europe's biggest clubs and when asked about it, the winger didn't exactly distance himself from the prospect of a summer move.

"Of course I'm thinking about it," said Diaby when asked about links to Premier League giants. "But not too much yet. I'm still concentrating on the end of the season."

Who wants to buy Diaby?

According to Sports1 reporter Patrick Berger, no less than three Premier League clubs are hoping to entice the winger to their club this summer.

Ther German broadcasters believe that Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are all keeping tabs on the winger, who has bagged an impressive 16 goals and nine assists for Leverkusen this season.

So how much would Diaby cost if Leverkusen were willing to sell the player in the coming summer transfer window?

How much would he cost?

As things currently stand, Diaby is in red-hot form and has a contract at Leverkusen until the summer of 2025. As such, the French winger is currently valued at no less than €48 million.

However, if the reports from Germany are true and all three Premier League clubs are serious about signing the 22-year-old talent, then that could lead to a bidding war that pushes Diaby’s value up considerably.

As such, it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility to see Diaby end up in the Premier League for a transfer fee that’s close to €60m or perhaps even more, if the three clubs end up fighting over his signature.
