Bryan King, an ex-Aston Villa scout, has criticized Leon Bailey for his recent antics. Bailey has been receiving backlash after he recently claimed that he would be open to playing for a team that is bigger than Aston Villa. The Jamaican winger was speaking in a Youtube podcast known as “Let’s Be Honest.”
King said that he believes that Unai Emery, the Aston Villa boss, must have scolded Bailey “in the office.” King claimed that Bailey’s words must have hurt the Aston Villa fans and the coaches. Bailey said that he would like to promote Jamaica’s profile by playing for a ‘big six’ club. He insisted that most players dream of playing for the biggest clubs in the Premier League.
The ex-Villa scout said that Bailey should be satisfied with his current status because Villa is also a big club. He challenged the 26-year-old to remain focused on Aston Villa. He said that Bailey should remain loyal to Villa because they are the team that gave him a platform to shine in the biggest league in the world.
King also had some positive words to say about Bailey. He claimed that Bailey has improved immensely and he will continue to grow if he remains at the club. He believes that the Jamaican can accomplish many accolades before he can move on to another club.
Aston Villa officials recently claimed that Bailey’s words were exaggerated by the media in order to create headlines. The winger recently committed his future to Aston Villa by signing a long-term contract with the club. He signed the contract in March. Bailey said that he is happy to play in front of Villa fans at Villa Park.
Bailey is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. He has been one of the shining lights in an Aston Villa team that has been over-achieving. He currently has 13 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. This includes 8 goals and 8 assists in the English premier league. he also has 4 goals and assists in the UEFA Europa League Conference League.
Villa are battling to finish among the top-4 teams in the EPL table. They’re currently sat in 5th position with the same points as 4th-placed Tottenham Hotspurs.
