Hull City make Leon Bailey stance clear after bizarre pre-season moment at Aston Villa

Hull City continue to be linked with a move for Aston Villa flop Leon Bailey.

The Jamaica international isn't wanted at Villa Park, that is clear to see.

He was shipped off last summer in a loan deal with Roma that truly didn't work out for anyone.

The winger returned to B6 in January with desperate times calling for desperate measures due to injury woes.

There was hope that he could return and rediscover his best form, but the 28-year-old just went on to struggle further.

Villa now want Bailey gone as Hull looks to be a potential landing destination at this stage.

Hull City know how they want to sign Leon Bailey

The Villans are looking to organise a rebuild this summer and that involves getting rid of deadwood.

Lewis Dobbin and Louie Barry have already moved on permanently and there is a hope that the ex-Bayer Leverkusen man will follow suit.

That has been far from an easy task as the attacker isn't keen on moving away from England.

Villa News has covered The Tigers' interest in Bailey, but now they aren't so keen on a permanent deal.

That comes as Alan Nixon reported via Patreon on Sunday that Hull only want Bailey on loan this summer.

They have kept a spot open to seal another temporary addition with the attacker in mind.

Villa would prefer to sell the winger this summer and want between £12million and £20m.

The Tigers don't want to pay that sort of money and even a buy option isn't desired at this stage.

A deal to the MKM Stadium could now be difficult to resolve, but it certainly appears that his Villa days are over after what happened in Porto.

Bailey hooked early in Aston Villa friendly vs Porto

If the 1997-born man could sum up his current role at Villa, it would simply be the latest friendly.

The Villans travelled to face Porto on Saturday and Bailey was surprisingly named in the starting XI.

That intrigue was short-lived as he lasted just 23 minutes before being taken off in bizarre circumstances.

Ben Broggio replaced the Jamaican and it was unclear whether it was due to injury, pre-arranged or for any other reason.

That sums up where everything has gone wrong for Bailey and why he needs to leave before it gets any worse.
