Aston Villa are very keen on Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz of Manchester City, according to a report by the BBC.

And although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, the report says that a fee has been agreed between the two clubs, of £15 million.

Villa are currently undergoing their pre-season preparations out in Minnesota as they prepare for their return to the Premier League.

And Luiz posted on his Instagram story a video of him in the United States, which fans discovered was at Nickelodeon Universe, located at Mall of America, in Minnesota.

That proximity got a lot of fans on Twitter excited, as they hope that their latest signing of a busy summer is just around the corner.

It might not be especially pressing for Villa to improve their midfield options, but Dean Smith seems keen on a new holding player to account for the departure of Glenn Whelan.

Conor Hourihane is a technically gifted player but perhaps not sturdy enough to be a Premier League anchorman, and the signing of Luiz would bring some extra quality to the engine room.

He certainly looks to have got the pulses of the Villa fans racing as they expect his arrival to be finalised soon after his Instagram post…
