DEAL CLOSE: Arsenal Set To Complete Deal As Player Confirms Interest

Potential Arsenal signing Douglas Luiz has reportedly told Aston Villa that he wants to leave the club

The Gunners do not plan on doing much deadline day transfer business – but they are looking to keep on adding to the squad and news broke today that a couple of offers have been made for Luiz.

Luiz is out of contract at the end of the current season – meaning that Arsenal will be able to get a bargain deal done for the midfielder

And after reports emerged suggesting that Arsenal have made another offer for the player – sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol has opened up and claimed that the midfielder now wants to leave Villa

He told the The Transfer Show:

“If Aston Villa don’t sell him today, Luiz can speak to other clubs from January and leave for free next summer.

“Villa have said he is not for sale but the player wants to join Arsenal.

“However, he would like to leave the club on good terms.”
