Jamaica international Leon Bailey has come in for some commendation from Bayern Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz after a string of strong performances from the Bundesliga club.
The 23-year-old has settled down well to life at the German club after missing the start of the season, due to enforced quarantine measures in his home country. Since returning to the line-up, however, Bailey has shown solid form. Not only has he proven to be elusive for defenders but he has also managed to notch four assists. Two coming in the team's last two wins.
With a good portion of the previous season impacted by injury and indifferent form, the player will be happy to be rounding back into the form that saw him labelled as one of Europe’s brightest prospects.
"Well, Leon had it very difficult, last year and at the beginning of this season. But I can see that he gets better every game, physically but also in terms of football,” Bosz said.
"When you see how much he runs, but also how much he sprints and the quality of his football game, that always goes up. Last game in Nice the first goal he set-up for Nadiem Amiri was really great. And he played well today too. He improves every game. "
