Douglas Luiz 'in talks over Premier League return' after nightmare year with Juventus following his £42m transfer from Aston Villa last summer

Nottingham Forest are eyeing a move for out-of-favour Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, according to a report.

The former Aston Villa star is expected to be sold by the Serie A giants this summer after disappointing maiden campaign in Turin.

Luiz, who has been capped 18 times by Brazil, started just three league matches following his £42.4 million transfer last summer.

According to Football Italia, the 27-year-old is attracting interest from Forest, who are set for talks with his representatives this week to hash out a deal.
