Report: Aston Villa close to signing Douglas Luiz

Aston Villa have been very active in the summer transfer window and have already splashed out £100 million on signing new players.

The Villans unveiled centre-back, Bjorn Engels, yesterday and it seems they are close to completing their ninth signing of the summer this week.

According to reports from the Birmingham Live, Aston Villa are closing in on the £15m signing of Manchester City’s highly-rated young midfielder Douglas Luiz.

The 21-year-old is a fantastic young player who can play in all three midfield positions – defensive, central and attacking.

Although he would command a high transfer fee, it seems Villa are ready to pay that amount for him.
