Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has no doubts about the talent of Moussa Diaby.

The winger has struggled in his first season in England.

But Emery said of the 50m summer signing: The adaptation of Moussa Diaby, there is still work to do. The most important for me is how he is progressing, how he is working and how he is feeling.

I am speaking a lot with him and always in a calm way, trying to be consistent and even when we are not playing like we want, keep going. His mentality is this way.

"I am not in a hurry with him to get it."
