Liverpool have reportedly failed in a bid to secure the signing of Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa, with the player preferring a move to join Arsenal on deadline day.
According to Sky Sports, Liverpool made a bid to make the Brazilian international a late addition to their squad but have been rebuffed as they player prefers a move to the Gunners. Jurgen Klopp had previously claimed that he was happy with his squad, but amid a recent injury crisis he took action with a move for a player whose contract expires next summer.
However, as has been reported throughout the day, the player has his heart set on a move to Arsenal but there is still some way to go in terms of sealing the defensive midfielder's signature. According to Fabrizio Romano, personal terms have been agreed for the 24-year-old but Villa are pushing for a higher fee for the player.
