Aston Villa have confirmed that they have reached an agreement to sign Bayer Leverkusen forward Leon Bailey.
The 23-year-old seriously impressed last season, registering 15 goals and 11 assists in all competitions. A tricky wide forward who is lethal in front of goal, he has been linked with a host of top European clubs over the past years.
