Douglas Luiz had struggled to meet expectations during his time at Juventus, and the club is reportedly looking to sell him sooner rather than later. Former Arsenal technical director Edu is said to have played a key role in bringing Luiz to the City Ground.

Luiz has experience playing in the Premier League, having played 175 games for Aston Villa and helping them qualify for last season's Champions League. His new manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, will be closely monitoring his performances to determine whether he stays with the team long-term.
