Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United are reportedly among several top European clubs monitoring Flying Eagles winger Sani Suleiman during the ongoing U-20 World Cup in Chile.
According to reports, Leverkusen have been following the former Akwa United starlet’s progress closely, with scouts said to have shown interest even before the tournament began. Their recruitment team has identified Suleiman as a potential future prospect, impressed by his pace, versatility, and attacking intelligence.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have also joined the race, with their scouts reportedly keeping tabs on the winger since Nigeria’s opening match against Norway. His ability to stretch defenses, beat opponents one-on-one, and deliver precise final passes has made him one of the standout young players in the competition.
Adding to his growing reputation, Sani Suleiman was recently rated by the CIES Football Observatory as Europe’s most complete U-21 winger, based on seven key attributes — aerial duels, finishing, assists, take-ons, orchestration, build-up play, and ground defense.
Suleiman’s performances for the Flying Eagles have continued to draw attention from top scouts, and his mix of athleticism, technical quality, and tactical awareness makes him one of Nigeria’s most exciting prospects on the global stage.
While no official approach has yet been confirmed, interest from elite clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United suggests that the young winger could soon be on the radar for a major European move — potentially marking the next big step in his promising career.
