No, no, this is not what you are assuming. I just like making these subheadings to mess around. Anyway, Leon Bailey has revealed that a lot of clubs were interested in him before he opted to join Bayer Leverkusen.

However, he stated that he rejected them because he believed that it would be too early to join them at that juncture of his career.

"Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool - a lot of clubs were interested,” Bailey said.

"But the most important thing as a pro is taking things a step at a time and not rushing to the top too quickly. Because once you get there, where do you go next?”

Meanwhile, according to Sky sources, Burnley are still interested in bringing Jay Rodriguez to the club. The Clarets tried to sign him in the summer but wouldn’t match West Brom’s valuation of £18 million.
