Aston Villa have reportedly added Douglas Luiz to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Juventus midfielder is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Chelsea decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Aston Villa look balanced this season - 1.42 goals scored and 1.04 goals conceded per game. Douglas Luiz would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Juventus are said to be exploring Ian Maatsen, Mauro Icardi and Ivan Toney with Aston Villa likewise connected to Morgan Gibbs-White, Dean Donny Huijsen and Zavier Gozo.
