Former Arsenal defender, Kieran Gibbs has urged the Gunners to sign Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa in an exchange deal involving Emile Smith Rowe or Eddie Nketiah this ongoing January transfer window.
Luiz has reportedly re-emerged as a top target for Arsenal.
Aston Villa is said to value the Brazilian at over £100 million.
However, Arsenal are willing to offer £60 million, while Aston Villa could reportedly settle for a £80 million fee for the player.
Speaking to ESPN FC, Gibbs said:
“It is probably the best idea to go and get someone like Douglas Luiz.
“You can swap players, there are deals to be done there for sure. There’s Emile Smith Rowe, there’s Eddie [Nketiah], there’s deals to be done there in this window.”
