Arsenal has offered £20m plus add-ons to Aston Villa to sign Douglas Luiz on transfer deadline day.
The Brazilian midfielder has entered the last year of his current deal at the struggling Steven Gerard side and he wants to leave.
The Villans have been speaking to his entourage and have proposed a new deal to the former Manchester City man.
However, he has now penned a new contract yet and Matchplug understands he is interested in the switch to the Emirates.
Arsenal has started this season well after winning five of their five league games to remain the only Premier League club with a 100% record so far.
However, they have lost Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny to injury and they know they must replace them to stand a good chance of maintaining their bright start to this season.
