Aston Villa are claimed to be ready to sell Douglas Luiz this summer, a player linked with both Arsenal and AC Milan in recent transfer windows.
The Brazilian midfielder has been an impressive performer for the Villains, earning praise from a number of circles for his consistency, and with just 12 months remaining on his current deal, a move to a bigger club could well be on the cards.
AC Milan are believed to be at the head of the queue for his signature however, with Goal claiming that the Rossoneri could strike a deal worth £25 Million.
Football.London adds that we could well consider stepping in, especially with uncertainty regarding our potential pursuit of Youri Tielemans, who also has just one year remaining on his deal.
Interestingly I think Tielemans and Luiz would be able to form a great partnership in midfield if we could somehow sign both, although I think that would be unlikely unless we could secure a transfer for one of our current senior options.
There has been little talk of an exit for Granit Xhaka, while we are not expected to sell either Lokonga or Partey either, so we will likely have to settle for just one potential incoming, and while I would prefer the Belgian, Luiz would also be a great option to have going into the new season.

I’d snap his ass up in a heartbeat..still young can deputize for Partey for a few years and for only 25..him and youri midfield sorted
please sign amadou onana from lille. A player arsenal desperately need.
Arsenal delayed tactics of getting their midfielders could well paid off.
Aurelien Tchouameni is the only genuine young top midfielder available this season, head and shoulders above the rest, once he left for Real Madrid there should be no rush as those below are all at the same level.
It is going to be very interesting as to see who we acquire, we need atleast two in my opinion
Tielemans would be still my first choice but Louis could be an option. I dont think we are signing both.
