Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as update on Moussa Diaby future emerges after reports of opening €45m Villa bid

Aston Villa will make another bid for Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby, it has been claimed.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims negotiations between Villa and Bayer Leverkusen are still ongoing for the France international, who is keen on a move.

The Premier League club had an opening bid of €45million (£38.5m) turned down earlier this week. It is understood Leverkusen are looking for a fee of around €60m (£51.3m) if they are to part ways with the winger this summer.

Signing a winger is priority for Unai Emery. However, Villa face competition from clubs including Al-Nassr from the Saudi Pro League and Napoli.
