Arsenal haven’t been very active in terms of transfers this summer, but it looks like the Gunners could spring a big surprise today.
Arsenal did most of the work before the start of the season when they brought in several signings and appeared to be done with building their squad.
That Mikel Arteta has created a very good team can be seen at the beginning of the season because Arsenal is the only club that has the maximum performance after five played rounds in the English Premier League.
However, the English media reports that Arsenal made a big surprise at the very end of the summer transfer window.
Reportedly, the “gunners” will try to bring Douglas Luiz, who wants to leave Aston Villa, by the end of the day.
This 24-year-old Brazilian has already agreed with Arsenal, so it remains for the clubs to agree on the compensation. Aston Villa are not too keen on selling, but Luiz has made it clear he wants to leave.
Interestingly, Arsenal and Aston Villa played at the Emirates last night, and the Gunners won 2:1. Luiz came off the bench and just half a minute later scored directly from a corner and showed what a master he is.
