Latest Arsenal transfer news as the Gunners prepare to battle north London rivals Tottenham for Douglas Luiz amid speculation lining Thomas Partey with a move away

Arsenal are reportedly plotting a fresh attempt to sign Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz this summer.

However, The Sun are now reporting that Arsenal will battle with north London rivals Tottenham for the signing of Luiz this summer as both aim to bolster their midfield options.

Arteta has already signed Declan Rice and Kai Havertz this summer for a combined fee of £170million, though with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Thomas Partey's future at the club, replacements are being sounded out.

Luiz, who is valued at £25million by CIES Football Observatory, helped Villa return to European football for the first time since 2010 last season following Unai Emery's superb turnaround at the club. The Midlands outfit will play in the UEFA Europa Conference League and have already been busy themselves in the market.
