12 goal and 11 assist star worth £60 Million ‘Wants Chelsea move this summer’
Leon Bailey admits he would find it hard to turn down a move to ‘massive clubs’ Chelsea and Arsenal.
The 26-year-old winger has enjoyed his best season to date at Villa Park, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists in 40 appearances in all competitions, but that has caught the attentions of the bigger clubs.
Bailey is settled in Birmingham and ‘really focused’ on performing for Aston Villa but admits the chance to move to a ‘big six’ club would be too great to resist: ‘You have big teams in England, they call themselves the big six,’ the Jamaica international said on the Let’s Be Honest podcast. ‘The Arsenal’s and the CHELSEA’s.
‘It has always been my dream to play in the Premier League and I am right now. Who wouldn’t want to go to a massive team? Especially coming out of Jamaica, do you know how big that is for the country? Especially being who I am as well.
‘It would shine more light and that has been my focus whenever overseas. It is to use my platform to be able to shine light on the country and the young talents. It’s difficult for us Jamaicans to even dream about making it to Europe.
‘I don’t know how to answer that question but I’d just have to see in the moment. I’ve really been enjoying my football and I’m really focused on Aston Villa, having one of the best seasons of my career.
‘You never know in football but I’m comfortable and happy where I’m at. I just focus on one thing at a time.’
