Arsenal are reportedly poised to open talks over a transfer move for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz on Deadline Day.

Arsenal have injuries in midfield and would surely do well to bring Luiz in, even if he’s only a squad player for Mikel Arteta.
One imagines, however, that Luiz also has the potential to work his way into the starting line up on a regular basis, with the opportunity there for him to stake his claim due to ongoing fitness issues for Thomas Partey.
