Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz lined up as a potential partner for Thomas Partey.
The 23-year-old central midfielder has been in fine form for the Villans this season and has been on Arsenal’s radar for a while now.
Arsenal are in the hunt for a new midfield partner for Partry in the summer as Xhaka would likely leave by the end of this season.
Mikel Arteta looks to rebuild the squad and will definitely need to add new players in the summer window.
Yves Bissouma of Brighton has also been lined up as a better alternative but Gunners legend believes Luiz would be a viable option.
He tells Football Insider: “I think he’d be a great partner for Partney.
Adding: “Douglas Luiz is hungry, young and is a good ball player. I think he could come in and do a really good job.
“We need numbers as well. It is not just a matter on signing starters. We need a squad. At the moment our squad is not up to scratch. We are weaker than other teams.”
