Excl: "The perfect player for their ideas" - Fabrizio Romano provides update on top Arsenal targetArsenal still view Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz as a perfect transfer target for that area of their squad, though there have not been any significant updates on the potential deal ahead of January.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano has he spoke to CaughtOffside to discuss Luiz’s future in the latest edition of his exclusive Daily Briefing column.

Luiz has been a superb performer for Villa this season, so, unsurprisingly, Romano says Unai Emery’s side have no intention of selling the Brazil international this January, and it seems there have not been any talks or negotiations so far to try to change the situation.

Arsenal fans will no doubt be excited at hearing stories about Luiz, but it seems things are still not at any kind of advanced stage, so they may have to be patient in the coming days and weeks, as it remains to be seen if there’s any realistic chance of Villa relaxing their stance on the 25-year-old.
