Chelsea were interested in the Jamaican winger over a year ago, and despite having a poor season last campaign, will look to the 21-year-old to try and fill the void left by the mercurial Belgian.
Following the departure of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, Chelsea have revived their interest in Leverkusen Leon Bailey.

Bailey’s move to London hinges on the outcome of Chelsea’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as they look to have their transfer ban overturned.
The Daily Mail reports that the Stamford Bridge club are looking to bring in exiting young wingers such as Bailey to replace the aforementioned Hazard as well as Willian and Pedro, who are not getting any younger.
Bailey could cost the Blues upwards of £80m, a significant amount for a player who is yet to truly shine.
He made 28 Bundesliga appearances last season, scoring five goals and providing one assist.
