Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is seeking a return to the Premier League this summer, and he is interested in joining Tottenham Hotspur.
The 27-year-old has been at his best at the Italian club, and returning to his comfort zone could be ideal for him. He was outstanding during his time at Aston Villa, and he could be an important player for Tottenham as well.
Spurs need a quality midfielder
The north London club needs more control and defensive cover in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian certainly fits the profile. He was regarded as a “world-class” player by his teammates during his time at Aston Villa.
According to a report from TBR Football, the player’s camp is now pushing for a move to the Premier League, and they believe that the player is really keen on joining Tottenham.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out a deal. Fabio Paratici is keeping close tabs on the situation, and he could play a key role in facilitating the transfer as well. He has close ties with both clubs.
Douglas Luiz needs a fresh start
Meanwhile, Luiz will look to get his career back on track next season. With the World Cup coming up, he will look to establish himself as an important player for the Brazilian national team. Impressive performances in the Premier League next season could help him cement his place in the side.
Tottenham managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season, but they need to improve multiple areas of their squad if they want to fight for major trophies. Adding more control and composure in the middle of the park will be crucial.
Luiz has the physicality and technical attributes to make a defining impact for Tottenham, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
