Villa is anticipated to initiate discussions with Leon Bailey regarding a potential new contract.
Leon Bailey, the Jamaican international, is currently enjoying his most successful season since joining Aston Villa in a £25 million deal from Bayer Leverkusen in 2021. He has been a crucial contributor to Villa’s success in both the Premier League and European competitions.
Having scored nine goals in 26 appearances across all competitions, including the decisive goal in last month’s remarkable 1-0 triumph against Manchester City, Bailey has become a key player for Villa. The 26-year-old’s existing contract is set to expire at the end of the next season, prompting Villa’s interest in securing a new deal for him.
Villa is eager for Bailey to follow in the footsteps of Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins by committing to the club for the long term. With his contract nearing its end, discussions about a potential extension are on the horizon.
Unai Emery’s team is set to resume action in the FA Cup third round against Middlesbrough, aiming for their first victory in the competition since 2016.
