Everton target Leon Bailey would be a terrific signing for Aston Villa

Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Leon Bailey from Bayern Leverkusen this summer.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Villa are heavily interested in signing the 23-year-old winger.

Bailey is seen as one of the most exciting young attacking talents in Bundesliga, and he would be a cracking signing for Dean Smith’s side.

However, Villa could face competition from Premier League rivals, Everton.

The Athletic recently claimed that Bailey features on the Toffees’ shortlist this summer.

The Jamaican international bagged 14 goals and 10 assists in 38 appearances last term and has everything it takes to light Villa Park up.
