Here's how things currently look for Arsenal amid talk of signing Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa before the summer transfer window closes.

"That will be Douglas, that will be his agent, that will be what happens. We are not in a position where we need to lose our top players, but at the same time, Douglas has got a year to go, and it is one of those really touchy situations where the club has to do what is best for the club, not necessarily what is best for me." There are more than two people in control of that, and I am certainly not one of them," the Villa boss said. "If the right player is available and we can do it we will try."

Aston Villa have bid accepted for potential Douglas Luiz ... (Football.London)

With Deadline Day firmly underway, Arsenal are trying their upmost to secure a late summer signing for Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have been monitoring the 24-year-old for some time, but there’s still a lot to do before people can call him an Arsenal player. Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz is the name being touted with a move to the Emirates. Luckily, they’re closing in on a midfielder of their own. Injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny mean they’re already looking light in the midfield, but with hours left in the window, Edu and co. Whilst there’s great optimism at the club, there’s a little bit of doubt over whether they have enough depth to sustain a top-four challenge. Promoted Stories
