Leon Bailey

Key strength: Vision and passing

Wide creator

Leon Bailey arrived at AS Roma seeking to reignite his career in Serie A, but the Jamaican winger finds himself in a curious position. The 28-year-old wide creator, valued at €18 million, has featured in just 3 appearances totaling 270 minutes—yet to find the net or provide an assist for the Giallorossi. Sitting 5th in the table with early-season form still developing, Roma are looking to establish consistency under their management. Bailey's pace and dribbling ability suggest he could be a valuable asset in unlocking Italian defenses, but the competition for places is fierce. He shares the right wing with Argentine starlet Matías Soulé (78 rating), while the attacking department is spearheaded by Ukrainian marksman Artem Dovbyk and promising Irish talent Evan Ferguson. The former Bayer Leverkusen and Aston Villa man must find his rhythm quickly to justify his valuation and secure regular minutes. His FIFA profile shows well-rounded attacking attributes—65 shooting and 63 dribbling—but Roma's tactical demands may require him to adapt his natural wide-creator instincts. With the season still young, Bailey has time to prove he's the missing spark for a side eyeing Champions League qualification.
