Douglas Luiz assures Aston Villa fans amid fresh Arsenal talk

Douglas Luiz insists he's committed to Aston Villa.

The Brazil midfielder remains a major target for Arsenal chief Edu.

But Luiz says: "My focus is totally here. I don't spend a lot of time looking at the stories.

"I see them, but I don't focus on that and I'm not looking at it every day. My head is here at Aston Villa.

"Aston Villa is a club that opened its doors to me when I came to England, so I have a lot of affection and a lot of love for it. Unai (Emery), honestly, is an incredible manager. Since he arrived here, he has changed the history of the club.

"Aston Villa is a very big club in England, but things weren't going so well. Unai has changed it. Now, people respect the club and the players more."
