Leon Bailey sends message on Instagram to Aston Villa’s newest signing Moussa Diaby
Jamaican international Leon Bailey is delighted that Moussa Diaby has joined Aston Villa this summer.
The French winger posted on Instagram after his move to Villa Park was confirmed yesterday.
The signing of Moussa Diaby could be a real coup for Aston Villa and a sign of their ambitions this season.
Diaby isn’t a cheap addition and has set back Villa a club-record £51.9m this summer.
However, they had to fight off interest from Saudi Arabia to bring in the 24-year-old French international.
Striker Ollie Watkins was mainly responsible for scoring Aston Villa’s goals last season.
Diaby’s tally of 22 in the past two seasons suggests he would alleviate some of the burden on the England international.
He was chipped in with 20 assists in that time and if he can bring that form to the Premier League he’s going to be incredibly difficult to deal with.
Diaby is now joining his old Bayer Leverkusen teammate Leon Bailey at Aston Villa.
The pair played more than 50 games together in Germany, combining eight times to score goals as they caused havoc on either wing
