Transfers: Aston Villa Recall Bailey From Roma Loan

Leon Bailey made 11 appearances with no league goals during his six-month loan at Roma, which was cut short due to limited impact and injury issues, sources say.

  • Recently, AS Roma decided to terminate Leon Bailey's loan, and the Aston Villa winger is expected to return to Aston Villa in the coming hours to join Unai Emery's squad.
  • An injury in Bailey’s first training session at Roma hindered his start, and six months on he has struggled for form and remains without a Serie A goal while making 11 appearances in all competitions.
  • Villa had to negotiate Bailey's release because the loan contract lacked a termination clause, and his only notable contribution was a Coppa Italia assist for Mario Hermoso in Roma's 2-1 win over Torino.
  • The move frees Unai Emery to pursue another striker, with Tammy Abraham linked as Besiktas's clause for just over 11m triggered and Turkish reports citing an asking price just under 18m.
  • Recently, Roma and Villa completed a Donyell Malen loan deal, and Malen scored on his Roma debut in a 2-0 Torino win on Sunday, earning praise from Gian Piero Gasperini.
