Aston Villa ‘to reject’ huge bid for star man in January

According to reports, Aston Villa will turn down any bid for Douglas Luiz during the January transfer window.

After a surprising victory over Manchester City and an outstanding start to the season,

all eyes are firmly on Unai Emery’s team.

Luiz has been a standout player for the Claret and Blue team during the first 15 games,

helping them climb to a lofty third place in the Premier League.

Luiz is reportedly Arsenal’s top target for 2024,

but according to sports Insider,

Villa currently values him at £100 million.

Nevertheless, the sports website states that Villa will turn down any bid for their star player in January.

The outlet has been informed by sources that Villa is “adamant” about not selling Luiz in January.

In January, Arsenal might instead focus on former Wolves player Ruben Neves.

Neves is reportedly being pursued by Newcastle United,

who need a replacement for Sandro Tonali,

who is now serving a lengthy football suspension for breaking betting laws.

Villa Eye Salzburg’s leading star

In other areas, Emery is eager to bolster his midfield with more quality in order to

facilitate a more seamless rotation process. Oscar Gloukh,

a juvenile prodigy, is thought to have captured his attention.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder Gloukh is a member of Red Bull Salzburg,

one of the finest teams in Austrian football.

The youthful player has already made 13 appearances for his country and scored three goals.

Beginning his career in Israel’s premier division with Maccabi Tel Aviv,

the midfielder became one of the team’s key players at the age of 17.

Red Bull Salzburg, who had previously signed athletes like Dominik Szoboszlai and Brenden Aaronson,

took notice of his skills right once.

Despite Salzburg’s elimination from the Champions League in the group stage,

Gloukh has impressed this season with two goals in the competition.

Gloukh won the Austrian Bundesliga in his debut season with Salzburg.
