The £43million club record signing has enjoyed a strong start to life at Villa Park but admits both he and the team can play better.

Diaby has ambitious aims for his first season at the club as he explained: “We have to go step by step. I hope to score more goals and give assists. I want to go to the final of every competition, the Conference League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup and to be in the top five of the Premier League.”

The 24-year-old was named player of the month by supporters after netting two goals in his first four Premier League appearances but said: “It’s nice but I need to stay in this way, to play well and help the team. We have won two games and lost two, which is not so good for this club. We have to play better and we can start on Saturday.”
