According to the Daily Mail, Hull City are eager to sign Jamaican star Leon Bailey in this window. The 19-year-old winger has become a sensation in Belgian football with Genk this season, scoring eight goals and providing an incredible ten assists as well.
This kind of form has seen him become an overnight sensation, and it has triggered interest from teams all over the continent and in England. Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, Napoli, and Roma are among the sides interested. And it’s easy to see why.
Few players are capable of providing such numbers from out wide. Even in what might be called a “weaker” league, these are incredible numbers. Be careful to devalue this league because Romelu Lukaku once devoured the very same league, and he’s become a great weapon.
The deal to Hull seems very unlikely and would be unwise for Bailey, who would be much better off staying in Belgium until the end of the season. Moving to Hull would represent a huge question mark, and would be a potentially career-ending type of move.
