Aston Villa star Moussa Diaby and manager, Unai Emery, have been praised for the start to the season by pundit, Dan Bardell.
Moussa Diaby signed for Aston Villa in a club-record deal over the summer as he departed Bayer Leverkusen.
Under the tutelage of Unai Emery, the Frenchman has become more of a second striker than a traditional winger.
He has become an instant fan favourite because of his ability and his blockbuster style of play.
Despite maybe not scoring as many as he should or could have he has still impressed fans and pundits alike.
What has been said about Moussa Diaby?
Aston Villa signed a top-class winger over the summer and now they find themselves with a top-class second striker.
Discussing this change, Dan Bardell said: “Emery has just completely reinvented him.
“He’s taken perhaps some of the weaknesses that he would’ve had in his game. Maybe the pressing and defensive side of things on the wing and turned him into this second striker. He’s just been incredible.”
The forward has scored three and assisted three in his first 11 Premier League games in a great start.
He has immediately endeared himself to the fans on that, Bardell said: “I can’t think of a player, who combines the skill and the raw pace that he has in my lifetime. He’s absolutely electric.
“He’s just been able to completely change the way that Villa plays in transition. The way they can attack because he can just carry the ball. He’s so fast, but he’s so skilful as well.”
It is clear for everyone to see how good Diaby is and how much the Villa faithful are loving their new man.
Despite a quiet afternoon against Nottingham Forest, it is clear the quality that he possesses and how good he will be.
