Well, the Brazil international netted his eighth and ninth Premier League goals of the season on Saturday as Aston Villa defeated Nottingham Forest 4-2.
It comes after Fabrizio Romano stated that Arsenal would want to buy Luiz and will continue to pursue the South American, as they have for some time.
Shearer explained why the Aston Villa No.6 made his Team of the Week, writing, “Two well-taken goals took his tally to nine in a brilliant season.”
Luiz now has ten goals and seven assists in 37 games across all competitions this season, which is an impressive performance for a center midfielder.
The Arsenal target has scored nine Premier League goals, outscoring Julian Alvarez, Rasmus Hojlund, Nicolas Jackson, Luis Diaz, Kai Havertz, and Raheem Sterling, to mention a few.
Arsenal will need to pay millions for Douglas Luiz.
Luiz joined Aston Villa for just £15 million in July 2019, after struggling to secure a work visa at Manchester City.
According to Football Transfers, Arsenal will now have to spend more than six times as much.
According to the story, Aston Villa value Luiz at £110 million following his rise to popularity in the Midlands, thus Arsenal would have to outbid the club record of £105 million for Declan Rice.
As a result, we don’t see a deal happening this summer, especially because Mikel Arteta and Edu appear to be looking to recruit a talismanic striker like Ivan Toney.
Nevertheless, keep an eye on the situation because anything can happen.
