Aston Villa news: Mikel Arteta interested to sign Douglas Luiz

Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz is on the radar of Arsenal, according to a report from The Sun.

The Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new holding midfielder and he believes the 23-year-old is a good fit to their needs.

The London side have been impressive in the Premier League recently, winning four consecutive matches following their 2-1 defeat at Everton last month.

They picked up wins over Southampton and West Ham in December before thrashing Leeds United and Norwich City to climb in the table.

The Londoners are currently fourth in the league table, having 35 points from 20 matches.
