Bayer Leverkusen have welcomed Moussa Diaby back from his summer break as speculation rumbles on regarding his future in Germany. The winger was in attendance as his side recorded a 6-1 win against MSV Duisburg on Saturday.
Diaby, who celebrated his 23rd birthday last week, remains a top Newcastle United target as Eddie Howe eyes attacking options in the summer market. The Magpies have held a long-term interest in the player and have been around the table seeking a deal.
Leverkusen are desperate to keep Diaby at the club and sporting director Simon Rolfes has already outlined their plan to keep him beyond the summer. Leverkusen boss Gerardo Seoane has echoed his colleague's thoughts by admitting the player has a huge role to play at the BayArena.
