A top season for the Jamaican.

Transcript

00:00 Aston Villa has had his praise from us, Olly Watkins has as well, Douglas Luiz has been

00:09 some huge names and big performances throughout the season so far. But Leon Bailey is a player

00:15 who they signed a few years ago and you thought maybe this was his chance. He didn't really

00:21 make that perfect start but it's looking as of late that he's becoming that go-to man

00:26 for them.

00:27 This season Leon Bailey has been tremendous for Villa and nothing short of. Probably one

00:32 of the players of the season in that squad and that's difficult to beat when you've got

00:35 so many key men in there. But Moussa Diaby started the season really well and has fallen

00:40 back since. The last few months it's all been about Leon Bailey and that right wing role.

00:45 Whether it be on the right mids or maybe as a shadow striker just to the right of Olly

00:49 Watkins, whichever role he's in, he's impressing. He looks a lot more clinical, his decision

00:54 making has improved, he's got confidence, he's got a swagger, he takes on players. And

00:59 at the weekend against Forest, a goal and an assist. The goal was nice and easy, a tap

01:03 in, but he had to be in the right place at the right time. And then the assist was just

01:06 sublime, taking it on the right hand side, nutmegging one defender and passing it through

01:12 the legs of another to find Olly Watkins at the far post. Really good vision and really

01:16 good skill for that one. And that just shows the kind of player he's becoming for Villa

01:20 and finally showing the form he had in his Leverkusen days.
