In a week that has seen Youri Tielemans leave the club, and Villa agreeing a deal for Morgain rogers to join Chelsea for £117m, Bailey could be the latest player on the move. Bailey making a move would not be too much of a surprise to anyone with the winger having struggled to find a meaningful place in Unai Emery's thinking. The 28-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at AS Roma, but made just 7 league appearances before returning to Villa to bulk up the squad numbers Used largely as a substitute, Bailey seems to be some distance from being a player likely to start games consistently, and with that in mind it would make sense for Villa and the Jamaican international to move on. The Athletic reports that Bailey is a target not only for Hull, but also Trabzonspor and Celta Vigo have been credited with an interest in a deal. Meanwhile, Villa will have to move quickly if they do have any interest in West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville, with interest in the West Ham United winger intensifying. The left-winger is a target for a number of clubs, including Manchester United, but it is AS Roma who look to have stolen a march on all competitors with a £39m interest lodged with the Hammers. According to reports in Italy, they are closing in on a deal, but the Hammers are thought to be holding out for a fee closer to £50m. Villa have been tipped to join the race for Summerville after the news that Morgan Rogers is on his way to Chelsea after a deal for £117m was verbally agreed. Villa will be looking for a replacement for Rogers, and Summerville is one of the names that has been mentioned by The Athletic as a player they have an interest in. A move to Chelsea for Rogers is set to be wrapped up imminently, with a medical scheduled for Monday. Summerville and Paris Saint-Germain’s Ibrahim Mbaye are believed to be the two stars Villa are eying to sign. They have already wrapped up the arrivals of Switzerland World Cup star Johan Manzambi and an announcement is imminent for the capture of Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder and past United target Joao Gomes.
