Arsenal are making a move today for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta needs midfield reinforcements after injuries to both Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny in recent days.

That left the Spaniard with just Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga to pick from for Arsenal's 2-1 win over Villa on Wednesday night.

Luiz's current deal at Villa Park is set to expire next summer but the 24-year-old could be set for an early exit.

He has been pushed down the pecking order at Villa Park by the summer arrival of Boubacar Kamara from Marseille.
