Leon Bailey is known for having a wicked left foot – in the German Bundesliga, he proved it time and time again, either by curling a shot when coming into the middle from the winger position, or from a free-kick. In the 2020-21 season, he scored 9 goals with 8 assists for Bayer Leverkusen. Those stats were more than enough for Premier League club Aston Villa to make their move and pick up the pacey winger in a transfer reportedly worth £30 million. 1
