Daily Mail | September 28, 2022

Arsenal are preparing a third bid for Douglas Luiz, according to a report.

The Gunners tried to sign the Aston Villa midfielder on deadline day of the summer transfer window, but were unsuccessful with two bids in their attempts to lure the Brazil international to North London.

But, according to The Sun, Mikel Arteta's side will go in for Luiz again in January, but with a lower offer than they produced in the summer.

Luiz's contract at Villa runs out at the end of the season, and it's unlikely he will sign a new deal with the 24-year-old keen on the move.
