Arsenal are set to launch a second Deadline Day offer to sign Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz ahead of today’s deadline.
The Gunners have been linked with numerous central midfielders since the window opened, but there wasn’t much talk about actual offers made. Our stance may well have changed following the injuries to both Thomas Partey and Mo Elneny this week however, and we seemingly decided that Luiz was the man to add to our squad.
Villa have proved reluctant to allow him to leave however, but after having an offer accepted for Wolves CM Leandro Dendoncker, they could well open to a change in stance, and we are claimed to be ready to test their resolve with a second offer for his signature.

It will be interesting to see if the Villains do stand firm and try to resist our offer, and if we have to move for an alternative option instead as the hours tick down in the window, but with the player supposedly keen on the switch you would imagine that we should be OK.
