Recruited in exchange for 55 million euros by Aston Villa, Moussa Diaby made a great first performance against Newcastle by already scoring a goal. Against Everton, the former Bayer Leverkusen player was once again dangerous, to the delight of his coach Unai Emery. The Spanish tactician praised Diaby’s debut in the Villans jersey in an interview relayed by The Athletic.
“He can add us more goals, run behind opponents. He can help us be versatile like a 10 or a seven. He can more or less play as a midfielder. I think he can improve and he is demanding. He is young, but he is mature. I want players like that, very demanding and committed to improving and creating something here with the team and individually.”then said the Spanish coach on the French international.
