Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby in a deal worth around €40m (£34.6m) plus add-ons.
The 24-year-old had also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.
However, the France international has agreed personal terms with the Premier League club and is set to complete a move to Villa Park.
Diaby joined Leverkusen in the summer of 2019 after coming through the youth ranks at Paris Saint-Germain.
Since joining the club, he has become one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting attacking talents scoring 49 goals and providing 48 assists in 172...
I think Emery has the talent to keep you guys up near the top 6, but the extra games definitely will create a few issues, especially if you go deep into the competition… it is Emery after all.
Your league success will also depend on those around you and whether they rise to the occasion or drop the ball. Brighton will be a wildcard, but I think they drop out of the top 8. Chelsea should improve but won’t make top 6 IMO. Liverpool should improve but their entirely new midfield is an unknown and I’m curious how long they take to adapt. Tottenham needs a defender and they could be a good team, but they also need goals from someone who isn’t name Kane.
It should be interesting this year in the league.
