Turkish giants Besiktas ‘have seriously entered’ the race to land Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey and Villa ‘have been informed’ of their interest.

Bailey is a player that Villa are prepared to offload before the transfer window slams shut at the start of September and Roma have been leading the push of late.

The Italians have been eyeing an initial loan, with an option to buy, and Bailey’s camp were due to in Italy today for talks over personal terms.
