Aston Villa continue to work on the sale of Leon Bailey to Hull City, with the Jamaican international's future at Villa Park hanging in the balance. The 28-year-old has been on the chopping block in B6 throughout the summer, with his confidence on the floor and a move to Hull emerging as a likely destination. The Tigers' owner Acun Ilicali has now revealed exactly where a move for the wide man is at, suggesting that a deal for Bailey is done at the MKM Stadium. Number 10 on the list sees a Jamaica flag and a tick emoji, while below the percentages continue, pointing towards the fact that the forward is now a Tigers player. That will be music to the ears of everyone at Bodymoor Heath, even if it will be sad to see him leave. Why Aston Villa's best business could yet be in Leon Bailey as Hull City latest shared Why Aston Villa will always respect Bailey It seems very unfair after a five-year spell in B6 that his departure will be celebrated this summer. The 1997-born ace has long been a fan favourite, but his recent form has simply let him down. The 2023/24 season was electric as he put up 14 goals and 13 assists in all competitions. That raised the bar, but subsequently ruined his Villa career as he only ever managed eight goal involvements in the next two campaigns. It is for that reason, on top of his massive wage, that Villa want him gone. That isn't to say that he doesn't leave as a massively respected figure and someone who has played a massive part in getting the Villans to where they are today. Bailey's goal output helped Villa to the Champions League, with his strike away to Arsenal one of the most iconic moments in recent claret and blue history. It is for that reason that he is loved in B6 and will be missed, even if things are ready to end on a somewhat sour note. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 4th in Premier League, 65 pts, 19W-8D-11L from 38 games, recent form WWDLL.
