Rumoured Leon Bailey

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

I would be all over this but it just does not feel like a chelsea signing...makes too much sense i guess. And as for overrated, sure therr is some hype but most neutral bundesliga pundits deem him the best attacking winger in germany this season. He has brutal pace, is direct, still only 20, can shoot a bit and is left footed so how much overhyped can he be. We have been in need for a left footed attacker for ages now. I am not sure where he would fit in if we were to continue playing 352 (maybe second striker when hazard is injured or move hazard to no 10) which imo we should not anyway. In a 343 or any system with true wingers he could flourish. He can easily start over pedro or willian. I recently read two articles over him in german press. Bayer sporting Director Rudi Völler said at some size a bid will be hard to reject and from context of the interview siggested hat bid would be 50m

What gets me is his ball control even at full speed. Very fast clever kid. I'd give my dangleys for a handful of players this age of this skill level

It's from 6 July 2015 like the caption says. We will wait until he is worth 100m, then not be interested anymore.

While another couldn’t hide their excitement: “CHELSEA SIGN HIM NOW!!!!!!”

Bailey admitted last week his dream is to one day play in the Premier League, and the picture of him in a Chelsea top could suggest that is where he wants to play.  

"Of course I have a dream club, but I will not tell," Bailey said.

"Basically, England was and still is my dream. And if I keep working hard, I’m sure it will work someday. The change to Bayer was just the right step for my development."

I personally haven't watch him, but people who are watching Bundesliga and Bayer, say that he is actually decent and is one the best Bayer players at the moment. He is fast, young and wants to play for Chelsea, probably won't cost so much also. But it's possible that our board haven't even heard about him...

We will look into him, realise the fee is too high then sign Nathan Redmond.

We've been linked to him since the days he played in Belgium for Genk.

I think we even were after him before that, one time there were rumors we buy him and loan him to Genk. But he prefered to go directly to Genk.
