Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus was influential once again as the Gunners beat Aston Villa 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Jesus completed a £45million move to north London earlier this summer and has been a revelation for Mikel Arteta's side since his arrival from Manchester City. The Brazilian striker has scored three goals and provided a further three assists in his five Premier League appearances, highlighting the impact he's had in Arsenal sitting top of the league heading into September.
football.london understands Luiz is among a list of players that the Gunners have looked at in the past and now the club are actively pursuing a deal for Villa star Douglas Luiz on Deadline Day. Technical director Edu is searching for a new midfielder to add to Arteta's squad following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, and it looks as though Luiz is the man Arsenal want.
