Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz has signed a new long-term deal to stay at Villa Park after a move to Arsenal failed to materialise on Transfer Deadline Day.
The Gunners had three Deadline Day bids rejected by Villa after the Brazilian was identified as a transfer target following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny. Luiz was said to be attracted to a move to the Emirates Stadium due to Mikel Arteta's interest in the player, but now a January transfer move looks to be over.
The Brazilian midfielder's contract was set to expire next summer and talks over a renewal had proved to be unsuccessful up until now. Villa are said to have started negotiations again over a new deal for Luiz following Deadline Day after Arsenal refused to improve their £25million final offer.
