According to reports from The Sun, the Gunners are ready to make a fresh bid to Aston Villa for Douglas Luiz to secure the player in the New Year. Arsenal are convinced that they can persuade Villa with a new deal as the Brazilian's contract at Villa Park is going to run out in the summer of 2023. The current Premier League leaders are expected to offer around £22 million and are convinced that Aston Villa could let the 24-year-old leave with this deal. It must be noted that Luiz has less than six months left in his current contract and has continuously refused to extend his deal.
