‘Happy with us’… Manager says £60m Arsenal target has ‘amazing’ commitment to his current club
Unai Emery has now had his say on the future of Douglas Luiz at Aston Villa amid heavy links with a January move to Arsenal.
Emery was speaking after victory against Tottenham Hotspur and was confident that Luiz wasn’t seeking a departure.
Luiz has been considered a long-term target of Ar🌟senal’s, but via the , the Villa manager set his stall.
: ༺“Douglas is playing very good. His commitment [is] amazing.
“I want to keep him and he is happy with us.”
Unsurprisingly,✃ Douglas Luiz was key🍷 to Villa’s incredibly impressive win over Tottenham today.
The Brazilian provided the assist for Pau Torres’ goal, and Roy Keane couldn’t🌳 quite believe just how good he was at times.
And although Arsenal and Mikel Arteta wo﷽uld reportedly like to sign the player, it could prove an incredibly expensive🅠 move.
A fee of has often been mentioned, but Villa would surely demand bigger given how crucial he is 🦩to their project.
Losing Luiz in J𓃲anuary must be unthinkable for Emery, and even a summer departure wouldn’t be particularly palatable.
Unai Emery insists Douglas Luiz is happy at Villa despite Arsenal links
Given how Arteta and Edu Gaspar are now approaching windows,♈ it would be a surprise if they acted in 🎶January.
Arsenal have preferred long-term planning, and ✤seem unlikely to make a kne꧑e-jerk reaction to Thomas Partey’s injury.
Ivan Toneyꦆ is another name mentioned for January, but it would too be a big surpri🃏se if he arrived at the Emirates.
It do🌊es seem as if there’s still something missing from this Arsenal squad, be it creativity or flair – but that’s unlikely to be addressed in the transfer ma༺rket.
It certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if Arsenal did go for Luiz or Toney💯 next summer, but with a long-term plan in place.
Unai Emery se♏ems confident that Luiz will be staying despite these Ars🍌enal links, and there’s probably a good reason.
The Brazilian is so crucial for Villa, and it would take something special❀ to change that in the near future.
