Man Utd, Chelsea target Bailey: Bayer Leverkusen perfect for me

Leon Bailey won't force a move out of Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

The Daily Mail says the 20-year-old has impressed in the Bundesliga this season, scoring nine goals to attract serious interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

But despite admitting his desire to play at the "highest level", Bailey is in no rush to leave Germany for the Premier League just yet.

"Leverkusen is perfect for me," he told Bild. "I want to develop and then I can take the next step.

"When I move to a big club, the people there will want to know me. I want to make a name for myself at the highest level."
