Aston Villa are lining up a move for Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey. Villa have identified winger Bailey as an attainable target and are preparing an approach to his Bundesliga club. Bailey, who has two years left on his current deal and is capable of playing on both flanks, is valued at between £25m-£30m. He has just enjoyed his best season so far for Leverkusen, scoring 15 goals and recording 11 assists in 40 appearances. Villa have big plans for this window and are doing groundwork on a number of big-money, potential signings to add to Dean Smith's squad.
