Premier League champions Chelsea are keen on trying to find their way back into the English Premier League title race to successfully defend their league crown, and New Year reinforcements could help with that.
The Blues are 11 points adrift league leaders Manchester City going into this weekend’s Manchester derby, and so Antonio Conte’s side certainly have their work reduced for them.
Nevertheless, the Blues will keep on pushing, and any new signing in January will surely give them a major boost as they try to win major titles again this term.
As per The Sun, Leverkusen starlet Leon Bailey could be a £20million transfer target in January, with the reigning Premier League Champions thought to have sent scouts to keep a close eye on him on three occasion, although La Liga giants Barcelona may well be influential in the matter as they are also interested in the 20-year-old.
Although it’s claimed that the Blues could loan the youngster straight back to the German side, it’s debatable whether or not it’s a smart decision for the youngster at this point in his career.
With five goals scored and two assists made in 12 matches far this campaign, he’s enjoying regular playing time in the Bundesliga to develop and improve himself.
