Chelsea could win the race to sign Leon Bailey,
who was on the radars of Arsenal and Liverpool during the summer, but neither were able to convince him to leave Bayer Leverkusen.

The Gunners have been looking to add more options out wide since the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott have left over the past 12 months.
Merseyside club won all four games in Premier League. Last month, Leon Bailey revealed the Blues had made enquiries about him.
He said: “There’s concrete interest. What I can say is that my full focus is on developing myself as a young player, and that’s what I’ll focus on. If a club wants me, my management and Bayer 04 will take care of it.”
But now according to German publication Kicker, the winger has his heart set on a move to west London. It is believed that Maurizio Sarri could strike a deal in January providing an offer of £53.4 million bid.
There have been claims that the Jamaican-born star is worth £55 million, although it remains to be seen whether interested parties would be able to haggle on the asking price.
