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.

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.
The strange scenario where Leon Bailey could extend Aston Villa contract before next transfer 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.
