Leeds United are interested in signing Douglas Luiz from Juventus in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout, Mick Brown, has claimed that Leeds, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship, are in talks over a move.
Brown told Football Insider: “Juventus want to get rid of Douglas Luiz.
“He hasn’t made an impact there since leaving Villa, and from what I hear his agent has been speaking to a load of Premier League clubs to find him a move.
“Luiz is a very good passer of the ball, he’s a talented player. My issue has always been that if the game is against you, he goes missing.
“It’s something I flagged while I was at Aston Villa, if the run of the game starts going against you, he’s always second to everything and you can bypass him in midfield.
“So Leeds may well be interested after speaking to his agent, but they have to know what they’re getting. If they want somebody to get on the ball and help them progress, he can do that.
“If they want somebody who’s combative and willing to battle in the middle, they’ll look elsewhere.
“Their scouts will have done their due diligence on him, they’ll know what he can and can’t do, and then it’s up to them to make a decision.”
