5 potential replacements for Willian at Chelsea

#1 Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen)

Bailey would be an upgrade to Willan

The one youngster who ticks all the boxes for what Willian's replacement should be, Bailey had a barnstormer last season.

A pacy and skillful dribbler who is capable of functioning on either flank, he has a mean left foot and is also excellent at dead ball situations Like most wingers, he is not the tallest player but what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for in agility and pace.

Capable of also being deployed as a false 9 as well, Bailey has been the standout performer of a young crop of excellent attacking talent at Bayer Leverkusen.

His brilliance would be of great benefit to the Blues as his pace, shooting ability and improved crossing would mean less creative work for someone like Hazard. Morata and Giroud would also benefit from his excellent service.

Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly said to be willing to do business for £100m, a rather steep price.
