The same source has claimed that the Pensioners are looking to add some quality to their roster and have identified the Jamaican playmaker as a possible option in January.
The 22-year-old ace has missed a lot of games this campaign due to a muscle injury. He has also had some disciplinary problems after being suspended for two league games for picking up a red card against Gladbach. Leon was also sent off versus Koln after he slapped the face of Kingsley Ehizibue.
The German Football Federation has now given him a three-match suspension which means that he’ll spend even more time on the sidelines (via Le Soir).
When the Jamaican starlet is playing with confidence on the field, Leon has shown time and time again that he can be an unstoppable force in the attack.
The former Genk ace can take up some clever positions and can read the game well in the final third.
If manager Frank Lampard decides to recruit a hot-headed wide attacker like Bailey, then he risks disrupting the chemistry of his Blues squad.
Hence, the club would be better off looking at some of their other transfer targets as Leon does not seem to be the right fit at this moment.
Meantime, a recent report in Spain claim that Ernesto Valverde’s Barcelona are not interested in securing the services of Chelsea star N’Golo Kante in the summer transfer market.
