‘The kind of player we need’ – Some Everton fans react to links with 15-goal attacker – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Everton have been linked with a move for the Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.
We covered reports earlier that the Premier League side are keeping tabs on the 23-year-old Jamaican.
Everton will need to add more quality and depth to their attack and the Bayer Leverkusen winger could prove to be a superb long-term acquisition for them.
The 23-year-old can operate on either flank and he will add goals and assists to the side. The Bundesliga star should prove to be an upgrade on the likes of Alex Iwobi.
Rafa Benitez will need to improve his attacking options, especially the wide players, if Everton are to challenge for European football.
Bailey picked up 15 goals and 11 assists across all competitions last season and the winger has a contract with the German club until the summer of 2023.
Leverkusen are unlikely to let him leave for a knockdown price and Everton might have to pay a premium for his services. It remains to be seen whether the club hierarchy are prepared to back Benitez in the transfer market this summer.
Some of the Everton fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the potential signing of the 23-year-old winger and here is what they had to say.
If we get
Begovic
Gray
Townsend
Dumfries
Bailey
(With guarantee of some high earners being sold)
Then personally I think that would be an excellent window.— efcdzn (@efcdzn) July 19, 2021
If this is true then surely that’s Bernard & Iwobi leaving?

Please, please him and Dumfries and I will be a happy chappy

Don’t you dare get my hopes up, he’s the kind of player we need badly!

Would love him or Diaby. But don’t think it’s likely seeing how the board intends to spend money

Bailey, Dumfries, Begovic and (although it’s gone quiet) Nunes would be an excellent window IMO.
