TOM COLLOMOSSE: Douglas Luiz proves a point to former manager Pep Guardiola as the Aston Villa star runs the show to help Unai Emery's side defeat Man City

Douglas Luiz is coveted by some of the most successful clubs in Europe but the best of the lot probably wish he still played for them.

The Aston Villa midfielder is one of the top targets for Arsenal, who bid for him three times last year. Yet Luiz is tied to a long contract and Villa in no mood to sell.

If Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are worth more than £100million, Villa co-owner Nassef Sawiris will reason, why should he ask any less for Luiz?
