Chelsea add Bayer Leverkusen whizkid Bailey, Villarreal's Chukwueze to winger shortlist

Chelsea have added Bayer Leverkusen's Leon Bailey and Villarreal whizkid Samuel Chukwueze to their list of potential forward signings.

Club scouts have been working on a shortlist for manager Frank Lampard to improve his attacking options in January.

Bailey and Chukwueze join Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) and Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) as desirable wing options for Lampard, says the Telegraph.

Both players have spoken favourably of joining Chelsea in the past.

The Blues have also scouted forwards Moussa Dembele (Lyon) and Timo Werner (RB Leipzig) to replace Olivier Giroud, who is looking to leave the West London club.

Now that their FIFA ban has been shortened, the Blues will give Lampard around £150m to rejuvenate his squad next month.
