Leon Bailey is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Hull and Aston Villa, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The forward has long been on the radar of Hull, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Aston Villa remain in the background, but for now, Hull are leading the way in ongoing talks. Hull have been strong going forward this season, with 56 goals scored in 34 games (1.65 per game). Leon Bailey would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Aston Villa have also been linked with Joao Gomes, Joao Palhinha and Johan Manzambi while Hull are reportedly monitoring Konstantinos Tzolakis, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe and Arthur Avom Ebong.
