Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz 'very happy' about Arsenal interest: But...

Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz says he's happy at Villa Park.

The Brazilian is being tracked by Arsenal ahead of the January market.

But he told Sky Sports, "I am very happy to hear the information, but I am here at Aston Villa.

"My focus is completely here. I don't spend much time looking at the rumors. I see them, but I don't focus on it and I don't look at it every day. My head is here in Aston Villa.

"Unai (Emery), honestly, is an incredible coach. Since he arrived here, he has changed the history of the club. Aston Villa is a very big club in England, but it didn't go so well. Unai has changed that. Now people respect the club and the players more.

"I think I am in the best moment of my career. The manager demands a lot from me and I think he has helped me a lot too. I'm happier than ever to keep working and keep developing."
