Bailey's big claim
08.25: Leon Bailey has admitted he dreams of playing in England.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger is on Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal’s radar.
And the Premier League trio will be encouraged by his latest comments.
"Of course I have a dream club, but I will not tell. Basically England was and still is my dream," he told Bild.
"And if I keep working hard, I'm sure it will work someday. "
The 20-year-old moved to Leverkusen last season and has already seen a huge difference in his game.
"The change to Bayer was just the right step for my development. I am happy here," he added.
"And we have every chance to get into the Champions League. Europe is our big goal."
Chelsea stall on Sandro
07.15: Chelsea have stalled on a move for Alex Sandro with Juventus demanding £60m still.
The defender has made it clear he wants to quit Juve but they are playing hardball.
Sandro was one of Antonio Conte’s top targets in the summer and he retains an interest.
He wants the Brazil star to add to the competition with Marcos Alonso impressing at left-wing-back this term.
And Chelsea could move in January but the process is being slowed by Juve who want around £60m despite him losing his place in their team.
Manchester United are also monitoring his situation but have cooled their move for a left-back due to Luke Shaw impressing in recent weeks.

Bale move on?
07.00: Manchester United could sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid if Harry Kane moves to the Bernabeu.
That’s according to Don Balon, who say the Wales international remains wanted by United boss Mourinho.
The Red Devils also want Kane but Tottenham would prefer to sell their star man to Madrid.
And, if Kane does make the move to La Liga, then United are confident Real will allow Bale to go.
The Wales star nearly joined United back in 2013 but moved to Spain despite the Premier League side offering more money.
Griezmann update
06.45: Barcelona want Antoine Griezmann and are optimistic about signing the Atletico Madrid star, according to Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague.
The Catalan giants have recently splurged £142m on Philippe Coutinho but Balague says they remain confident of beating the likes of United and Real Madrid to Griezmann.
“The Barcelona squad will be recycled in the summer, around a third of the team, but Valverde is very much enjoying working with the squad he has,” he said.
“They're very optimistic at the club that they will add Antoine Griezmann's signature in the summer, though Manchester United may have something to say about that.”
