Leon Bailey is a Jamaican footballer who plays for Bayer Leverkusen and is on his way to being the 'heir to Arjen Robben'. He is often compared to the Dutch legend due to a very similar game style. He is a left-footed wing player who likes to cut inside and take shots at the goalkeeper from time to time. At just 21, the Jamaican has made a reputation for himself in the world of modern football. Many of Europe's elite clubs are behind the youngster, Chelsea showing the most interest.

His quality is unquestionable and was witnessed by many when he tricked Sven Ulreich to score a top quality free kick against Bayern Munich and leading his team to victory over the reigning Bundesliga champions last month.

The Jamaican has scored 5 goals and assisted 3 times in 36 appearances this season for the club.

Chelsea is lacking attacking options and if Hazard decides to leave, they will be left with a huge void on the left flank. Bailey can be a good fit to fill that void and carry on Sarri's attacking game style. He is keen to leave the German side and move to a better club in order to fulfill his potential and Chelsea has an eye on him.
