Arsenal are poised to rekindle their interest in Aston Villa enforcer Douglas Luiz - as Mikel Arteta is becoming 'increasingly concerned' over Thomas Partey's fitness issues.
The Gunners failed with a last-gasp swoop to prise the Brazilian midfielder - who has less than 12 months remaining on his current deal at Villa Park - away from the Midlands outfit, with Aston Villa rebuffing a number of deadline day bids.
But Luiz, who has started just two Premier League matches this term for Steven Gerrard's side, is expected to be pursued by Arsenal again once the transfer window reopens in January.
