Arsenal have identified Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz as a key midfield target. However, Villa’s manager Unai Emery has made it clear that the club has no intention of parting with the Brazilian midfielder.
Emery Praises Luiz’s Commitment
Emery has praised Luiz’s performance and commitment to the team, expressing his desire to retain the player at Villa Park. “Douglas is playing very good and his commitment is amazing. I want him here,” Emery stated, underlining the importance of Luiz to his squad.
The Villa boss further emphasized his satisfaction with Luiz, “I am very happy with him and I want to keep him, of course. I think he’s happy with us too.” This suggests a mutual contentment between the player and the club, potentially diminishing Arsenal’s chances of securing Luiz’s services.
As the situation stands, Aston Villa are firm on their stance not to sell Douglas Luiz, despite interest from the North London club.
