Arsenal are ready to make a deadline day bid for Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz.
The Gunners are ready to offer up to £25million for the Brazilian, who has less than a year left on his contract.
Villa do not want to sell especially on the deadline day but risk losing the ex-Man City man for nothing should he not sign a new deal.
Coincidentally, Luiz faced Arsenal just last night as Villa lost 2-1 – but he did score directly from a corner.
And after the game, his manager Steven Gerrard admitted he did not know whether Luiz, 24, was going to stay at the club and he was not in control of the situation.
Villa claim Luiz is not for sale, but that’s likely just a negotiating tactic.
However, in a twist, this morning Villa announced that the in-demand central midfielder is not for sale, but that’s likely just a negotiating tactic.
