Aston Villa have brought in Douglas Luiz from Manchester City, with Dean Smith’s side continuing to be busy in the transfer window.

Douglas Luiz of Girona FC looks on during the La Liga match between RC Celta de Vigo and Girona FC at Abanca-Balaídos on April 20, 2019 in Vigo, Spain.

Aston Villa fans have welcomed Douglas Luiz to Villa Park on Twitter, after he signed up from Manchester City.

Villa have paid £15 million to sign Luiz from City, according to BBC Sport.

And Villa fans are very excited to see their new Brazilian midfielder in action.

Luiz also seems keen to get started at Villa Park, and posted on social media about the move yesterday.

Villa fans were quick to welcome Luiz, and suggested that he could be joining a bigger club than City now.

Luiz is expected to have a key role to play in Villa’s midfield.

The claret and blues now have an impressive trio of midfielders competing for places, with John McGinn and Jack Grealish’s starting spots already fairly secure.

Luiz is one of a huge number of new arrivals at Villa this summer, with the Midlands side showing great ambition.

Villa’s opening game of the season comes against Tottenham Hotspur in two weekends’ time.
