Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is full of praise for an Aston Villa summer singing.

The ex-West Ham and Portsmouth head coach believes Moussa Diaby has been a revelation for the Midlands club so far this season.

Diaby arrived in the summer for a mega fee from Bayer Leverkusen on the insistence of boss Unai Emery.

“What a threat Diaby is for Villa, he's absolutely rapid," Redknapp told BetVictor.

"Defenders can't get near this lad; he skips by them with ease. He's Villa's record signing and he looks worth every penny so far.

“He got a couple of assists at the weekend and was lethal on the break."
