Sky Sports: Hull City in talks to sign Premier League forward

Sky Sports says Hull City are in talks to sign Premier League winger Leon Bailey, in a bid to strengthen ahead of their return to the division. The report, attributed to Sky Sports News journalist Tim Thornton, states that Hull City are discussing a move for the Aston Villa player. It also clarifies that there is no agreement in place with Villa at this stage, meaning negotiations are still early. Bailey is 28 and would enter the final year of his contract with Aston Villa, a detail that could shape discussions if Villa decide to move him on. The article adds that Bailey spent the first half of last season on loan at Roma before returning to Villa under Unai Emery. If completed, the signing would offer Premier League pace and experience.
