Douglas Luiz's future at Aston Villa is a 'touchy situation', says Steven Gerrard

Daily Mail  

Steven Gerrard is expecting speculation around Douglas Luiz's future to continue all season - but concedes it is a 'touchy situation' with the Brazilian out of contract next summer. Luiz's dominant performances in his 118 games since joining Villa have turned the head of a number of clubs, including Mikel Arteta's Arsenal who had a late bid turned away for the 24-year-old. Douglas Luiz is now in the final year of his contract at Aston Villa after joining in 2019 Gerrard said: 'Am I surprised by the speculation? Villa boss Steven Gerrard admitted he was not surprised in the interest in the Brazilian, with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal failing with a deadline day move for the midfielder But with his contract up in June 2023, it can only be a concern that the club has made little progress in tying him down to a longer deal as yet, after the Brazilian rebuffed approaches over summer.
