Reggae boy Leon Bailey set to become one of their highest earners at English Premier League club Aston villa as contract talks are set to open between both parties.

Bailey who has turned around his villa career after shining this season could see his wage rising closer to that of Argentine world cup winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez, Tyrone Mings  and ollie Watkins 

The Jamaican was among those villa were willing to let go last summer but he has developed into a key player this term, scoring six goals and providing five assists to help Umai Emery’s men into second, three points behind leaders Liverpool.

Bailey joined Villa in 2021 for about £25 million pounds with part of the proceeds from the 100 million Pound sale of Jack Grealish to Manchester City, and signed an initial four-year deal thought to include options for extension.
