The Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen are prepared to offload their star playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu.

According to TalkSport, the Turkey international has attracted the attention of both Arsenal and Manchester United following an impressive season at Leverkusen.

The report goes onto say that the German side are ready to cash in on Calhanoglu after three impressive seasons in the Bundesliga. The 22-year-old has three years remaining on his contract meaning Leverkusen may charge a hefty fee.

The Bundesliga side signed Calhanoglu from Hamburg for £12 million back in 2014 and are looking to sell him for a fee in the region of £24 million.

Calhanoglu played some of his best football this season in the Champions League scoring twice and providing five assists. The young playmaker became the first ever Turkish international player to score against England in an international friendly in May. Calhanoglu also featured for Turkey during their short lived Euro 2016 campaign.
