Aston Villa signing Leon Bailey promises fans entertainment

Aston Villa signing Leon Bailey has promised fans entertainment.

Bailey's move from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed this morning.

And the Jamaica international is ready and waiting to show his skills in the Premier League.

“For me, it's a great club with a big history and it's the right step for me. I'm excited to get started," he told the club's website.

“It's always been somewhere that I've wanted to play. I feel like now is the right time and I'm excited about it.

“Hopefully I can do what I do best and have a great season in the Premier League."

Bailey continued: “I like to give assists and I like to score, that's always been me. I like to score and be the one who gives the pass in a decisive moment and not be selfish.

“I'm not always thinking about scoring, I'm more so thinking about the team. Whichever situation we're in, I try to adapt to it and better the team.

“If there's an opportunity for me, I'll take it. If there's someone in a better position, I'll make the pass and get the assist.

“I'm a flair type of person, I like to entertain the fans, do my tricks, use my speed and make life difficult for defenders."
