5 exciting wingers that could be brilliant playing as strikers

#3 Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen & Jamaica)

The Jamaican youngster is tailor-made for the striker's position

The only left-footed winger on the list, Bailey has already had a taste of playing as a centre-forward. In his early days at Belgian side Genk, he played across the front-line.

Though he didn't particularly excel as a centre-forward, his movement and use of space caught the eye. The winger has been one of the standout stars in the Bundesliga and is on the radar of many a big club on the continent. Blessed with pace and trickery, he has often been compared to Dutch legend, Arjen Robben.

However, his talent may be better suited to playing as a striker in the mould of Valencia's Rodrigo Moreno. Great with his back to goal and brilliant at playing off another striker, the Spanish international makes great use of his intelligence to get into good positions.

This is something Bailey could aim for as in terms of positioning, intelligence, dribbling abilities, and technique, both men share similar characteristics.

Bailey is already used to switching positions in a young and vibrant Bayer 04 attack (alongside fellow tyros like Kai Harthez & Julian Brandt). Switching to an attacking role full-time wouldn't be that big a deal.
