Aston Villa are interested in signing the highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey. Villa want to sign another attacking player despite bringing in Emi Buendia from Norwich, and have seen several bids rejected for Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe. The 23-year-old Jamaica international, who has two years left on his contract, has been tracked by every top club in England over the last few seasons.

Bailey has scored 39 goals and set up another 26 in more than 150 appearances for Leverkusen since signing from Genk in 2017.
