Aston Villa’s recent decision on Douglas Luiz could be a major benefit for Arsenal in the summer transfer. The Gunners are set for a shortage in the midfield but Luiz would be a good signing to solve this issue.
According to the Daily Mail, Steven Gerrard is prepared to let the Brazilian leave at the end of the season. Luiz is out of contract at the end of next season and they are lining up a replacement ahead of next season.
The fact that Luiz will only have one-year remaining on his contract at the end of the season means that the Gunners can sign him for a cut-price deal. Villa will want to avoid losing him on a free transfer at the end of the next campaign, meaning they will have to cut their losses in the summer.
