Douglas Luiz will officially become an Aston Villa player within a couple of days, according to reports.
As per The Telegraph, as cited on the Daily Star, a deal is imminent, despite the fact that the player has already linked up with his new team-mates in the United States.
A £15 million deal to sign the player from Manchester City has been delayed because he needs to have a work permit approved, but that is expected to be done imminently.
Luiz could become Villa’s ninth signing of the summer, with winger Mahmoud Trezeguet also believed to be closing in on a move to Villa Park.
Smith and Villa have not be afraid to splash the cash this summer as they prepare for life back in the top flight and the addition of Luiz from the Premier League champions will certainly be a huge coup for the club.
