Aston Villa are poised to break their transfer record after agreeing a deal worth up to €60m (£51.9m) for Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby. The winger was a priority signing for Unai Emery and represents another statement of intent as Villa continue to strengthen.
Villa’s interest in Diaby predates Emery’s arrival last November but the France international was in the youth setup at Paris Saint-Germain while Emery was in charge of the Ligue 1 club. Diaby is thought to have been classed as Emery’s No 1 attacking target this summer.
