Leon Bailey

The thing is, Pep had Sterling (right footed) as RW and Sarri had Callejon (right foot) as RW, so I see no reason Sarri couldn't work well with Willian, if we keep him. I don't think a left footed attacker is absolutely necessary, but it would be nice to have. 

 
The main reason I would like this move is because Bailey is a left footed attacker and pacey, so would be very useful on that RW. The issue is, just how good he is. Last season seems to be his best season with 9 goals and 6 assists in 30 apps, but we don't know his ceiling. He could be a total flop, but then again he's still very young. I am confident with Sarri in charge that he can improve pretty much any player, so it's very possible he could help improve Bailey a lot. If not Bailey, which other left footed attackers are there available? It seems to be a position which is important, but looking at City they have Sterling in that RW position and he's right footed, but he done very well last season so Willian or Pedro could do the same. 
Brandt, Lozano, Chiesa

 
Well, as a fan of Genk (his former club) and Chelsea. 

I can only say... Get him!! Get him!! Get him!!!

Crazy skills, speed and an awesome left foot.

The only worrying thing about him, is his crazy (adoption)dad / manager. 

He is a very special man. 
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Ben jij een Genk-fan, Night-T?

 
Talksport reporting that Bayer have told us he’s not for sale
Every player is for sale at the right price. I don't think they will be worried about missing out on a big offer later though. I don't think his value is going to decrease any time soon, if anything, I expect it to go up even more.

Yeah, I could see his asking price move up over 100m if he has another good season.  Unfortunate we didn’t snap him up this past January when the price was more like 30m or so.

 
He's not coming. Dont get your hopes up. When was the last time we bought an exciting attacking player? Been a while.

Don't really see this happening either. I'm starting to think that the club will hold on to both Pedro an Willian instead of looking for new, young prospects.

 
I can’t see this one happening now as it’s too late in the window and too big a transfer too conclude. Plus in order for him to leave Willian would have to go and I can’t see that happening now
