Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Luton Town centre-back Teden Mengi.

The 21-year-old defender, who joined Luton from Manchester United, has impressed with 15 Premier League starts.

Although scouted by Leverkusen’s Matthew Green, Mengi missed the recent match due to injury. Discussions between Leverkusen and Luton’s CEO suggest potential interest.

Despite previous links to other clubs, Mengi’s future remains uncertain amid Luton’s league status concerns. Manchester United have a sell-on clause, potentially benefiting from any future transfer.

A move to Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen would signify a remarkable ascent for the youngster, who has previously been on loan at Derby County and Birmingham City.

Leverkusen’s unbeaten run in the German top-flight adds allure to the prospect.
