Wolverhampton Wanderers may have found themselves the perfect successor to Diogo Jota - and no, it's not Douglas Costa...

What's the word?

According to FourFourTwo magazine, the Midlands outfit could be offered Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey, who has been linked to Premier League clubs all summer.

It's thought that the Jamaican speedster is desperate for a move to England and could be available for as little as £30m, as per Sky Sports.

The likes of Everton, Spurs, Man City and Man Utd have all been mooted with interest in recent months.

Forget Costa

Wolves have also been linked with a swoop for Jorge Mendes client Douglas Costa but that could quickly become an £190k-per-week nightmare given his age and injury troubles, which has also been outlined in this article by FootballFanCast.

The 23-year-old presents much better value and fits the profile of a player who could improve under Nuno Santo before being sold on for mega profit.

Despite a lack of regular game time last season, Bailey provided five goals and three assists whilst averaging 1.6 dribbles, 1.3 shots and one key pass per game, via WhoScored.

The Leverkusen man is also a perfect fit as he's an inverted winger who likes to cut inside and wreak havoc just like Jota, which is why he's been compared to Arjen Robben in the past.

Former Ajax and Barca attacker Ronald de Boer believes Bailey is "so fast it’s not normal," adding "his speed, combined with his technique, is very rare. Exceptional. He has no weak points."

His ability to play anywhere along the front three and even at left wing-back should have Nuno all over this move. The explosive winger could add something special to Wolves this season.

Just imagine having Bailey, Pedro Neto, Daniel Podence and Adama Traore providing the support to Raul Jimenez.

He's a much better option than Costa, so Jeff Shi should sanction another mega-money move to clinch Jota's successor.
