Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby 'set to undergo a medical at Aston Villa after club-record £50m transfer is agreed'... with player having rejected chance to join Al-Nassr

Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby will reportedly undergo a medical at Aston Villa after the Premier League club agreed a club-record fee with the German outfit.

The fee, expected to be worth up to £50m including add-ons, was matched by Al-Nassr but France international Diaby has chosen Villa.

The deal would make Diaby Villa's most expensive ever signing, well above the £0m paid to Norwich for Emi Buendia two years ago.

talkSPORT claim the move will be finalised once Diaby completes his medical examination.

It will also be good news for PSG, who are set to receive around £6m of the fee having agreed a sell-on clause when they sold him to Leverkusen.
