There's a few lion emojis in his Tweets pre-dating the alleged Villa interest. He could be Rastafari... or he might just like lions?

Sadly I think that may be a Jamaica reference rather than a Villa one.

Would love to be proved wrong.

Has Baileys twitter always had the lion head underneath???
https://mobile.twitter.com/leonbailey?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

He was born on Aug. 9th so could be a reference to his star sign 'Leo the Lion' (could be why he's called Leon).

In any case it looks too ferocious to be the one on the Villa badge.

Can't believe Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard hasn't been snapped up yet.

The lion is the symbol of Rastafari. This lion represents Haile Selassie I, who is referred to as the 'Conquering Lion of Judah'. Rastafarians' dreadlocks represent the lion's mane.

Sadly not a nod to joining us but may prove ironic in future.

Only 1.1% of Jamaicans are Rastafarians, approx. 8.3% are Leos. ;)

The £30m odd that Chelsea would want for Barkley needs to be spent on a proper quality winger. Leon Bailey please.

Just noticed that this was the second post of the thread. Has to be an edit, surely?

The Bailey link is up there wit Buendia for me. I saw him in a game last season on BT Sport and thought he looked brilliantly suited to the premier league, running at players at pace. I hope he and Alvarez are not an either/ or situation, and the latter is being seen as more of a striker freeing up Davis to go out on loan.

This guy seems credible. 20k followers and a blue tick.

Think that guy has said it's close a few times so not sure he's that reliable.

If it's Alvarez or Bailey I'd take the latter.

With Davis off to Stoke and Watkins needing a little bit more recuperation time this season, I'd have both.
