With over 2,500 participants, the French winger had the most votes with 26.9%. The 21-year-old just pipped last year's winner Kai Havertz (25.2%). The new Werkself captain Charles Aránguiz came in third with exactly 12% of the votes.
"It means a lot to me that I was able to thrill the Bayer 04 fans in my first season. This award is a great honour for me. It motivates me to give everything for the Werkself in the coming season," said Moussa Diaby, highly delighted with the title.
Bayer 04 again provided great prizes for Bayer 04 Club members who took part in the vote. The main winner, Charles M. from Leverkusen can look forward to receiving the shirt of his namesake Charles Aránguiz worn in the Europa League game against Rangers. Absolutely unique – including the 'Thank you' lettering above the badge. Very fitting that the Leverkusener also voted for the young Frenchman: "The decisive factor with Moussa Diaby for me was his development into a spectacular attacker. His fast pace in combination with his dribbling ability excited me. I'm very happy that my vote for him turned out to win the main prize."
In addition, Claudia C. from Bergisch Gladbach won the new home shirt and David W. from Remscheid the new away shirt. On top of that, Bayer 04 gave away four vouchers for €19.04 at the Bayer 04 shop. The winners have already been informed. Bayer 04 offer congratulations and wish all the winners lots of fun with the prizes.
A simple approach to sport with games, fun and a highlight at the end: Bayer 04 organised a very special training session for 40 participants aged between six and 27 in cooperation with the Football Association of the Middle Rhine (FVM). At the day of action for women and girls with disabilities at the Kurtekotten Performance Centre, many of the participants gained their first experience of football.

Less than a year ago, Kerim Alajbegovic moved from the Bayer 04 U19s to Austrian top-flight club FC Red Bull Salzburg. The forward’s development since then has been impressive. In 36 matches, including in the UEFA Europa League, the 18-year-old has scored 14 goals. In the summer, Alajbegovic, now a Bosnia international, will return to Leverkusen - and thus not only achieve the next milestone still early in his career, but also enrich the Werkself squad with his footballing versatility and determination.
