Chelsea Transfers: 10 Players They Must Sign This Summer

3. Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen)

With respect to Chelsea, Stamford Bridge probably isn't the preferred option of Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey, given that he's also said to be courting the interest of Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

For those teams, however, the Jamaican seems to be less a priority than he is a luxury. They're already well-stocked upfront, even if - in the case of Bayern - wingers Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery are getting a little long in the tooth.

Chelsea, whose own collection of wingers includes the out-of-form Pedro and purported Manchester United target Willian, are perhaps in a stronger position to meet Leverkusen's asking price, as well as offer the player himself regular first-team football.

It wouldn't be too much of a deviation from the club's new fiscally responsible approach to player recruitment either, since Bailey is bound to have a massive sell-on value if and when he decides to leave.
