Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey remains on the radar of Chelsea.

The Mail on Sunday says any hopes of signing the winger must be placed on hold for another year as the Blues serve their transfer ban.

Fifa have placed a two-window embargo on Chelsea making any signings because of their recruitment of foreign minors.

So they must hope no other side manages to convince Leverkusen to sell Bailey - or receive an unlikely reprieve from the Court of Arbitration for Sport to delay their ban.

The Blues could bid a whopping £80million for the rising star next summer.
