Aston Villa join the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby with Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United all interested... but the Bundesliga side is demanding a club record transfer fee of £50m

Aston Villa have become the latest club to express interest in Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby.

Villa are understood to have made a check on the situation of the Frenchman who is expected to leave the Bundesliga side this summer.

Manager Unai Emery is keen to add a wide player to his squad this summer.

Leverkusen would want a fee in excess of £50m for Diaby which would represent a club record for Villa were they to firm up their interest.

Their highest ever buy is currently £38m Emi Buendia.
