Douglas Luiz has had an extremely impressive start to the season, scoring 6 goals in all competitions and recently becoming the first Aston Villa player to score in 6 consecutive home games for the club. His recent purple patch has re-ignited interest from last season’s title challengers Arsenal, who are yet again keen on discussing a transfer for the brazilian midfielder. Arsenal sporting director Edu has been a huge admirer of Douglas Luiz, evidenced by the fact that he tried to sign him 2 summers ago on transfer deadline day, having two last minute offers rejected by Aston Villa, who considered them a key part in their plans. It seems as though this decision has paid massive dividends, as Aston Villa are currently boasting in their best start to a league campaign for over 25 years, with Douglas Luiz being a pivotal part of Unai Emery’s midfield. However with the recent growing speculation about Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and him looking to leave Arsenal as early as the January transfer window, Aston Villa may yet again need to brace themselves for another Douglas Luiz approach from Arsenal in the January window.
