Villa make Bailey offer (Sky Sports)

The club's transfer ambitions are grand - but will they be enough to retain Jack Grealish?

Aston Villa have made an offer to Bayer Leverkusen for forward Leon Bailey, according to Sky Sports.

Having already signed winger Emiliano Buendia and so far held on to star Jack Grealish, the team appears to be assembling a powerful attack.

Bailey has been a menace to Bundesliga opponents in the final third early in his career, racking up 28 goals and 18 assists in the league before his 24th birthday. A move away from Leverkusen this summer is reportedly inevitable.
