Everton and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Douglas Luiz from Juventus during the summer window.
Douglas Luiz has been linked with a return to the Premier League, and a report from Italian outlet Tuttosport has claimed that Everton are ahead of West Ham United in the race to sign the 27-year-old Juventus midfielder.
The Brazilian international played his best football in the Premier League with Aston Villa, and a return to England could be ideal for him. He has not been at his best in recent months and will look to get back to his peak once again. So, playing in the Premier League could be ideal for him. He knows the league, and he should be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact.
Luiz is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. Everton showed improvement under David Moyes last season, and they will look to push for a place in the top half. The Toffees are among the biggest clubs in the country, and they cannot continue to fight for survival every season.
They need quality players to bounce back strongly. The Brazilian will help them improve defensively, and he will help them control games in the middle of the park as well. So, Everton have ramped up the discussions to sign the former Aston Villa midfielder, and a loan bid is on the cards.
West Ham United keen on Luiz as well
On the other hand, West Ham are interested in the player as well. They need more control in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian would be ideal for them. The 27-year-old has the qualities to improve both teams, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Juventus are hoping to get rid of him, and they will look to recoup as much as possible. Everton and West Ham certainly have the financial resources to get the deal across the line. It remains to be seen where the Brazilian ends up.
With the World Cup coming up, he will look to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football. An impressive performance in the Premier League next season could cement his place in the Brazilian starting lineup.
