My dream is to play in for big teams like Chelsea, Chelsea is my dream club,-Aston Villa Star with 13 goals this season Has confirmed he will be joining Chelsea this Summer
Even though Leon Bailey is “happy and comfortable” at Aston Villa, he acknowledges that it would be difficult to refuse a move to one of the “massive clubs,” such as Arsenal or Chelsea.
With 40 appearances in all competitions, the 26-year-old winger has had his greatest season to date at Villa Park, tallying 12 goals and dishing out 11 assists.
Villa will play French team Lille in the Europa Conference League quarterfinals after Unai Emery’s team mounted an unexpected top-four challenge thanks to his form.
Bailey acknowledges that the opportunity to join a “big six” team would be too good to pass up, even though he is content in Birmingham and “really focused” on playing for Aston Villa.
In an interview with Let’s Be Honest, the Jamaican international stated, “You have big teams in England; they call themselves the big six.” “The Chelsea and Arsenal’s.”
“Playing in the Premier League has always been my dream, and I am doing so right now.” Who wouldn’t want to visit a large squad? Do you realise the significance of it, particularly coming from Jamaica, for the nation? especially considering who I am.
It would shed more light, and I have always focused on that when travelling. My goal is to utilise my platform to highlight the nation and its young artists. For us Jamaicans, it is nearly impossible to even consider travelling to Europe.
It would be difficult for Bailey to decline Chelsea or Arsenal.

“I’m not sure how to respond to it, but I’d have to wait and see. I’m having one of my best seasons as a player at Aston Villa, and I’ve been having a great time playing football.
“In football, you never know,” but I’m content with my current situation. I simply concentrate on one item at a time.
Chelsea, who used to be one of the classic “Big Six,” has fallen far in the rankings recently and is currently only ranked eleventh in the Premier League.
The Blues’ lead over Arsenal at the top of the table is equal to their lead over Sheffield United at the bottom.
Although Mikel Arteta’s Gunners lead the league in goal differential, they still need to defeat Manchester City and Liverpool in the final stretch to win their first championship in twenty years.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, is still in fourth place after winning just one of their previous two games before to the international break. They take on rivals Wolves in their next Champions League football attempt on March 30.
