Aston Villa have completed the signing of the France winger Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen.
While Villa have not disclosed the fee paid to secure the services of the 24-year-old, it is understood the package is worth up to €60m (£51.9m), a club record.
Villa’s interest in Diaby predates Unai Emery’s arrival as manager 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 identified as Emery’s No 1 attacking target this summer.
