Chelsea are back in for Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.

The Daily Express says Chelsea are hopeful of beating Manchester United and Arsenal to the £85million signing of Bailey.

Chelsea sent scouts to watch Bailey in action as he came off the bench against Rangers on Thursday.

The Jamaican international replaced Karim Bellarabi with half an hour remaining at Ibrox but he caused plenty of damage to Steven Gerrard's side.

Bailey scored a crucial third away goal with two minutes to go to ensure the Bundesliga side took a 3-1 first-leg advantage.

Liverpool are also thought to be interested in the pacey winger while German giants Bayern Munich have been tracking him for the last few years.

But Leverkusen would understandably rather sell their star to the Premier League rather than to a Bundesliga rival.
