The Gunners have been searching for a midfielder and a winger throughout the window without much success. However, Edu’s struggles in strengthening the middle of the park could be about to change following the reported pursuit of Douglas Luiz.
A deal to sign Aston Villa's Luiz is actively being pursued, football.london understands. Sources at Villa have been insisting that Luiz will not be sold, but with under a year remaining on his current deal, a transfer cannot be ruled out.
Time is running out for Arsenal to complete a deal before the 11pm deadline comes into force. But, the Gunners can use a deal sheet which is the key piece of paperwork that can be submitted up until 11pm. As long as a 'deal sheet' is sent in to the relevant governing bodies before the deadline, deals can still go through after the cut-off.
