Arsenal target Douglas Luiz has broken his silence following his failed move to the Emirates Stadium on transfer deadline day. The Gunners' final offer of £25 million was rejected by Aston Villa, who were adamant that their player was not for sale.
This was a surprise since the Brazilian's contract runs out next summer and with his current club striking a deal with Wolves for midfielder Leander Dendoncker, it was believed that they would be happy for Luiz to leave, although this was clearly not the case.
Speaking after all the drama, manager Steven Gerrard spoke about how he was certain that Luiz would understand the stance the club held.
