Tottenham and Arsenal are in a deadline day battle today for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.

The Daily Mail says Spurs boss Antonio Conte is a big fan of the Brazilian midfielder, who has just 18 months left on his Villa contract.

Arsenal are believed to be exploring a late deadline day swoop for Luiz, 23.

But the Samba star, who has nine caps for his country, could end up at rivals Spurs instead.

Conte is eager for reinforcements before tonight's 11pm deadline.

And having missed out on Porto's Luis Diaz, the Italian tactician is finally set to make a signing in Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski.

An 18-month loan with the option to buy is nearly done, and a £20m deal for teammate Rodrigo Bentancur will reportedly follow.

But it appears Conte remains hopeful of also adding Luiz to his squad.
