"The 24-year-old winger joins Villa from Bayer Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee and has already linked up with his new team-mates on their tour of the United States."
Diaby reportedly turned down a move to Al-Nassr where he would have teamed up with Cristiano Ronaldo and a raft of other big names that moved to Saudi Arabia.
That is despite the Saudi giants agreeing a fee in principle with Leverkusen.
