Aston Villa are set to sign long-term Newcastle United transfer target Moussa Diaby this summer.
The 24-year-old Bayern Leverkusen winger has been targeted by Newcastle United over the past couple of seasons only for The Magpies to be put off the Bundesliga club’s asking price. The Magpies have since moved on and are set to confirm a deal for Harvey Barnes from Leicester City.
Villa have already had a £30million bid rejected for the French international but have since returned with an improved offer of £43million. The Premier League side faced stiff competition from Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Nassr submitted a ‘new bid’ for Diaby on Thursday before Diaby agreed to join Villa.
