'Excuse me?', 'No way' - Lots of Villa fans flock to journalist's deadline day hint

The future of Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz could be one to watch on deadline day, with Tottenham keen on a late deal.

That’s according to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, and his claim has had a lot of Villa fans talking on social media.

Villa have been planning to open talks with Luiz over a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in 18 months time.

However, in recent days, he’s been linked with both Arsenal and Tottenham, with the latter of the two preparing a bid in the region of £32m. The Daily Mail claim that Steven Gerrard values Luiz highly, with Spurs’ late swoop set to fail.

But according to Crook, a move to Antonio Conte’s side could still be on the cards. Taking to Twitter, the talkSPORT man revealed that Luiz ‘could be one to watch’ on Deadline Day, placing Tottenham’s hashtag in alongside Villa at the end of his post.
