Arsenal are reportedly continuing to monitoring the situation involving Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.
Earlier this year, it was claimed that the Gunners held an interest in the Brazil international, who has established himself as a first-team regular in the West Midlands.
The 23-year-old has made a total of 27 appearances in the Premier League this season, 25 of which have come from the starting lineup, but the player now has less than 15 months remaining on his contract.
According to Football Insider, Luiz remains very much on Arsenal's radar ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their options in that area of the pitch.
Furthermore, the report claims that Villa are open to parting ways with someone who was once perceived to be a key player, the suggestion being that Steven Gerrard wants to generate funds for his own transfer targets.
Providing that fresh terms are not agreed between the relevant parties, an exit from Villa Park appears likely, with another report claiming that Roma are also admirers of Luiz.
