Bailey-Gayle Excited By LCFC Women's 2020/21 Prospects
- Striker Paige Bailey-Gayle speaks to LCFC TV ahead of LCFC Women's new season
- The Foxes finished the 2019/20 campaign in sixth place in the FA Women's Championship
- The London-born forward outlined her ambition to better her 2019/20 goalscoring tally
- Bailey-Gayle also discussed the new arrivals to join the Club over the summer
The Foxes commence their new season against Blackburn Rovers at Farley Way Stadium on Sunday 6 September (2pm kick-off) following a sixth-placed finish last term.
With a host of new faces in the squad, after officially joining the Club's portfolio of professional teams this summer, LCFC Women will be looking to improve upon that this time around.
Bailey-Gayle, 18, is one of many talented youngsters in the squad and she netted on four occasions for Leicester in 2019/20 - but is hoping to better that tally across the next year.
Speaking to LCFC TV this summer, the former Arsenal Women star said: "I didn't get the best start, but I started to get momentum and score goals, and that's the best thing to help the team.
"I'm hoping to score more goals than last season and become a better player, become the best version of myself. [The summer] felt like an eternity!
"But yes, it's really good to see the girls again and, obviously, with the new players as well, it's just like bringing everyone together so we're as successful as possible.
Seeing her team-mates and familiarising herself with the new recruits has been a source of excitement for Bailey-Gayle this summer as Leicester approach an exciting new season.
"It's been the best thing ever," she added. "It was a bit weird [with social distancing], meeting the new girls and getting back on the pitch. [We will] hopefully start the season really well.
"It's great. They've just fitted in straight away. We just want to be a big family, so we're getting to know each other, learning [about] each other inside and out, so we have a successful season."
