Absolutely ripping it’… Paul Merson
wowed by £15m midfielder Arsenal staff really like
In the wake of rumors connecting
Douglas Luiz, an Aston Villa midfielder,
to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Paul Merson has rendered his judgment.
The former player for Aston Villa and
Arsenal feels that Luiz is one of the
Premier League’s most underappreciated players.
So, what has Paul Merson said about
Douglas Luiz? Let’s take a look.
Paul Merson praises Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz
Well, Paul Merson has been raving about
Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, a
player who has been linked with Arsenal.
The Sky Sports pundit has said that Luiz
is one of the five most underrated
players in the Premier League.
The former star of Aston Villa and
Arsenal has called attention to Luiz’s
recent growth and improvement in his game.
Since joining Villa in the summer of
2019, Luiz has been a member of the
Manchester City team. For the Brazil
international midfielder, the Villans paid
the Citizens a transfer fee of £15 million (BBC Sport).
“Douglas Luiz is an established
campaigner, so I’m putting him at #5,”
Merson told SportsKeeda of Luiz.
Everyone can now see what he’s all
about because he’s been playing
fantastically for Aston Villa this season. A
year ago, Arsenal wanted to sign him,
but not many thought highly of him.
He can play the role of a holding
midfielder and keep things clean for his
team, but as we’ve seen so frequently
this season, he can also get in the box
and score goals. Although he is still
incredibly underappreciated and well-
rounded, he has begun to receive his fair
amount of attention in the 2023–24 campaign.
“People wouldn’t put him in the same
breath as Declan Rice or Rodri, but based
on their performances this season, I’d
certainly put Luiz up there with the pair.
“With Casemiro and Fabinho past their
best in recent seasons, the ex-Manchester
City midfielder could also become a key
player for Brazil in the years ahead.”
