Details as Aston Villa agree permanent Leon Bailey exit after deadline day

Leon Bailey is finally set to leave Aston Villa permanently.

It has been a huge summer of change at Villa Park, with 10 new signings brought through the door.

That was desperately needed for Unai Emery, with exits in double figures too, big names as well.

Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa, Emi Martinez, Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins were just a handful of those to leave.

And they aren't done there, with Bailey now finding a new home.

Where is Leon Bailey headed?

After weeks of transfer speculation, a new home has been found.

Bailey looked most likely to join Hull City and stay in the Premier League, but that never materialised in the end.

With the Premier League's transfer deadline at 11pm on 1 September, other business continues around Europe.

Bailey will now join Olympiacos permanently, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Jamaican international is now on his way to Athens to complete his medical, with a "surprise" deal close.

It's said that Bailey will sign a contract until 2029 in Greece, with the agreements in place.

With no mention of a fee, it could be ideal for all parties if Bailey saw his current deal terminated to move on here.

Who will take his spot at Aston Villa?

It's safe to say that Emery and the Villans have entered a completely new era this season.

After reaching the Champions League, challenging in the Premier League and winning the Europa League, that cycle has closed.

Bailey will continue the exits which are into double figures, with 10 new faces through the door to take over.

Johan Manzambi and Ibrahim Mbaye will take the torch forward in the final third, with the ability to play centrally and out wide.

Bailey has been finished for two years now at Villa Park, and it's great to find a resolution that suits everyone.
