​Aston Villa defender Konsa: Much more to come from Bailey

Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa says the best is yet to come from Leon Bailey.

The Jamaica winger scored a stunning goal in Saturday's draw with Manchester City.

Konsa told The Express & Star: "The best is yet to come from him. He knows himself what he has to do to really kick on and show the quality he has.

"On Saturday, he really worked hard for the team. It is not just on the ball but the running off the ball, working hard and tracking back. He got the goal his performance deserved.

"I think it will mean a lot for him. Last season was a difficult one for him, in and out of the team with injuries and stuff. But he has really kicked on this season and showed his qualities and on Saturday, he saved us.

"If you know football, you follow football and have seen the Bundesliga, you see what the qualities he possessed before coming here. If we get that from him in the Premier League, it will be a massive help for us."
