Arsenal make transfer decision on Douglas Luiz

Arsenal are not exploring a deal for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz in January, according to David Ornstein.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with the Brazilian over the past few years and Fabrizio Romano recently said that he is the top target.

However, Ornstein has dismissed the speculation by citing that the Gunners are not fully convinced about signing the Brazilian star.

Luiz is well known to manager Mikel Arteta from his Manchester City days, but he is not considered as the right profile for Arsenal.

Hence, the club are likely to look elsewhere to reinforce their midfield. There is a possibility that they may not invest next month.

With FFP concerns, Arsenal could be forced to wait until the summer before investing in their midfield. Everton's Amadou Onana could be eyed.

The Belgian sensation has been on their radar for some period of time and he could be prised away for around £42m in the near future.
