Aston Villa slap £110 million price tag on Douglas Luiz

Arsenal's interest in Douglas Luiz is well-documented - as is Aston Villa's desire to keep the Brazilian at Villa Park. Arsenal are willing to pay £60 million to sign him, but Villa have set an asking price of £110 million, according to a report from FootballTransfers.

Douglas Luiz is also thought to be in the sights of Liverpool and Manchester City. Even if Arsenal do opt to pay the enormous fee, they'll still need to fend off competition from two of their closest Premier League rivals. So far this season, Douglas Luiz has made 14 Premier League appearances for Villa, scoring five goals and notching up two assists.

Arsenal interested in Juventus starboy Kenan Yildiz

Arsenal are believed to be 'serious' regarding the prospect of signing Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yildiz. The 18-year-old has made five Serie A appearances for the Old Lady so far this season, but has yet to score a goal or register an assist.

Additionally, like Douglas Luiz, Juventus have put a hefty asking price in place for any club who wishes to bring him on board in January. According to Tuttosport, Arsenal will need to pay a fee of around £32 million to pry him away from Juventus. Moreover, he is thought to be 'comfortable' in Italy.
