Bayer Leverkusen's Leon Bailey had been linked with a host of Europe's top clubs after last season, but he is, now, under contract until 2023.

Winger Leon Bailey has signed a new deal with Bayer Leverkusen that will keep him under contract with the Bundesliga club for the next five years.

A number of other European teams have been rumoured to have an interest in the 21-year-old, who has scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in his 44 appearances for Leverkusen.
