Arsenal’s interest in Aston Villa’s Brazilian talent, Douglas Luiz, remains steadfast despite facing rejection multiple times in 2022. According to 90min reports, Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta’s management, continue to closely monitor Luiz, especially impressed by his strong performance at the beginning of this season.
Arsenal, based in North London, is actively seeking midfield reinforcements and may pursue another midfielder during the upcoming January transfer window. Both Arteta and the club’s sporting director, Edu Gaspar, view Luiz as a valuable option for the team.
In the broader context, Arsenal, aiming to challenge for the Premier League title this season, has made significant signings, including Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, to enhance their squad. Despite their earlier attempts, Arsenal failed to secure Luiz’s signature in the 2022 summer transfer window, making three unsuccessful bids for the player. Nonetheless, Luiz’s consistent performance, notably scoring in six consecutive home games, has made him a target worth pursuing for the Gunners.
