Douglas Luiz has become unsettled at Aston Villa after interest in his services from Premier League leaders Arsenal and his former club Manchester City.

Luiz has been an outstanding performer for Villa this season. It won’t be wrong to say he has been one of the best players over all in the Premier League this term.

Having scored five goals and bagged three assists in the Premier League this season, Luiz has taken Unai Emery’s side to the top 4 of the Premier League table where they are rubbing shoulders with the league’s elite.

Football Insider has reported Luiz is aware of interest from Premier League giants and has had his head turned.

Douglas Luiz remains on Arsenal’s radar

Aston Villa plan to keep Luiz but even if they have to let him go, they are determined to get more than £100million for him. They believe that price tag is fair considering the recent expensive moves of Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez in the Premier League.

Emery has guided Villa to third place in the Premier League and they have been the success story of this season.

Luiz’s move still seems unlikely and the Brazilian midfielder would happily stay unless Villa accept any bid for him. A move from Aston Villa to either Arsenal or Man City would be a big jump for Luiz’s career.

It’s hard to so no to these sides as they both challenge for trophies every season and play some of the best football in Europe under Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola respectively.

  1. Who writes this rubbish ridiculous story that he is unsettled he stated clearly he is happy at Villa. Click bait !

  2. Where has this rubbish come from? Luiz is happy at villa, reference a recent interview with him, try getting your facts right. Obviously arsenal, man city etc think they have a right to be at the top and sod other teams, you reporters make me sick, there are 20 teams in the premier not 4/5 Muppets.

  3. With Villa riding high why would he move now? The Sheff Utd result shows they are still a bit behind Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City in the final third and money is always likely to turn heads as the others can at present offer much more. However Villa are on the cusp of Champions League football which could see it take off in a big way and he is integral to their plans. The grass is not always greener elsewhere.

  4. What utter garbage this article is. A new low in journalism I suggest. So Arsenal challenge every season do they? I suggest you take a quick glance at their final league position for the six seasons immediately prior to the last one. You will note it varied between 5th and 8th. Hardly challenging don’t you think? Again prior to this season their last Champions League campaign was 2016/17. How do you expect to be taken seriously when you can’t get the basics right. Go away and do some proper research and meantime stop insulting people’s intelligence.
