Tottenham have launched a late attempt to bring Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey to north London with Man Utd also keen, according to reports. Spurs have been having a terrible season, although their 2-0 win over Brentford on Sunday saw them move to 14th in the Premier League table and end their run of four league defeats in a row.

Romano has revealed that Tottenham, along with Manchester United, called Aston Villa and asked to be kept informed of Leon Bailey ‘s situation. However, as things stand, Villa are not open to letting the winger they signed for £25 million ( BBC) leave the club.

Manchester United completed Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa late on Sunday, but while the Red Devils might have hoped this deal would lead to a player moving in the opposite direction, it appears to have had the opposite effect.
