BAILEY’S GREEK ODYSSEY

With Reggae Boyz winger Leon Bailey moving to multiple-time Greek champions Olympiacos FC, Greece-based sports writer Nikos Kotsis says his pedigree makes him a needed addition to the squad.

Bailey, who successfully completed his medical, was presented by Olympiacos on Wednesday. He moves to Super League Greece on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract which ends a five-year stint with reigning Europa League champions Aston Villa.

“I’m very happy to wear the red and white shirt and I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere at the Karaiskakis Stadium,” he said in a video on the club’s social media.
