Leon Bailey

Leon Bailey's story grabs me from the first line: a Jamaican kid who crossed to Europe at thirteen and earned Belgian Young Player of the Year at Genk before reaching Aston Villa. There is something compelling about that mix of Caribbean flair and the steel it takes to leave home so young. As a 181cm right winger who beats defenders with raw pace, he is simply fun to watch, the type who can flip a match's mood in one burst. I am partial to attackers with that kind of spark, and I am quietly waiting for him to fully detonate in the Premier League.
