According to reports, Aston Villa have joined Arsenal in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby.
According to the Daily Mail, Aston Villa have become the latest team to express an interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby, with the club checking on the Frenchman’s status this summer.
Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants to add a winger to his Villa squad, but Leverkusen wants £50 million to sell. As things now stand, that would be a club-record contract for Villa.
According to the Mail, Diaby has also piqued the interest of Premier League clubs Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United, with the Gunners still wanting to add one more attacking option this summer.
Last month, Loic Tanzi of L’Equipe stated that while Diaby is a key target for Newcastle United, he is not a priority for them.
Newcastle, it was suggested, had fallen behind Arsenal in encouraging the player to join them in a summer transfer.
