Aston Villa have confirmed on their official website the signing of Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz from Manchester City.

The destroyer will complete a move to Villa Park subject to a work permit being granted and ramps Dean Smith’s summer spending up another notch.

Dean Smith said: “Douglas is an extremely talented young player with an outstanding pedigree who I am sure will fit nicely into our style and system of play.”

Luiz said: “Today is a really happy moment in my life and in my career, it’s another stage of my life. I’ve got another chance to play in the Premier League. It’s the start of something great.”

Villa’s supporters were certainly excited as they took to Twitter to celebrate the news and the conclusion of negotiations that have been protracted for quite some time now.

There were tongue-in-cheek references to winning the league or qualifying for the Champions League, but that just sums up how buzzing the supporters are for the season to start.

Luiz has caught the imagination of the fans and they’ll be looking to see the quality that has seen him shine out on loan at Girona in recent times too.
