Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Leon Bailey has admitted it is his dream to play in the Premier League.

The 20-year-old has been linked with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent months.

He only joined Leverkusen a year ago and although he has no immediate plans to quit, he still has ambitions to play in the Premier League.

"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. "

Bayer sit fourth in the Bundesliga after an impressive first half of the season.

And Bailey hopes he can help their push to qualify for the Champions League.

"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."
