He's very similar to Sané at Schalke, but perhaps more suited to playing as a striker. Played mostly on the right cutting in on his left.

More of a dribbler who beats the player with the ball and tricks, rather than knocking it round them or using insane acceleration like Sané, and he's shown a lot more consistently his best than Sané had.

One potential big problem is his adopted father and agent is bent as fuck. He's demanding a place in the Jamaican team for his other son (who's shit) and to be in a position near the head of the Jamaican FA in return for Bailey playing for Jamaica.

This is despite the fact he qualifies for Jamaica by birth, and would need to wait 5-8 years to play for England/Belgium/Germany but Bailey and Butler are trying to tell everyone who listens he could yet play for those countries to take as much as possible from Jamaica.

There was a lot of shady shit following him in Belgium because of Butler as well - Genk had to get him a job, then it turned out he didn't have a work permit so they got raided by the Belgian police.


So I wouldn't be surprised if the dad/agent stops us from going near him or getting a deal done.

This is despite the fact he almost definitely only qualifies for Jamaica, but Bailey and Butler are trying to tell everyone who listens he could yet play for Germany or England.
Sounds like his adopted dad could be a problem then.

hmm....don't know if I can take Isco Part II - whose father played a big role in not coming to us !
 
surprisingly, raheem sterling is his inspiration.

In that regard, he takes inspiration from Manchester City and England winger Raheem Sterling, who was also born in Kingston and with whom Bailey is a close friend. “[He is] one of the few people who push and motivate me to become a pro... I look up to him not as a football player but as a big brother that has always been there,” says Bailey of the 22-year-old.
