Football transfer rumours: Moussa Diaby to snub Saudi for Aston Villa?

Having already welcomed Youri Tielemans and Pau Torres on board the good ship Aston Villa this summer, Unai Emery may be about to shiver the timbers of Holte End denizens by press-ganging Moussa Diaby into service. The Bayer Leverkusen and France winger has snubbed a big-money offer from Saudi outfit Al-Nassr and is ready to move to Villa Park in a deal worth £50m.

Harry Kane has made it clear he will not be signing a new deal with Tottenham Hotspur but will not try to force a summer exit from the club either. The England striker remains keen on a move to Bayern Munich, who have already had £68.5m bid rejected. With his contract due to expire next summer, Spurs must decide whether or not to accept any significantly improved offer or wring another season’s worth of goals out of their star player before losing him on a free transfer.
