Moussa Diaby outlines his delight after completing move to Aston Villa from Bayer Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee... as the French forward insists he is 'very proud' to join the club

Moussa Diaby has expressed his delight after completing a move to Aston Villa from Bayer Leverkusen.

The French forward joined Unai Emery's side from the German outfit for what is thought to be a club record fee after an impressive four years in the Bundesliga.

Having broken through at PSG, before moving on due to a lack of gametime, Diaby is inherently talented, demonstrated by his 10 caps for France.

He enjoyed a brilliant campaign last year in Germany, scoring 14 goals and adding 11 assists in all competitions as he helped to spearhead Leverkusen's turnaround under Xabi Alonso.
