Nottingham Forest have become the latest Premier League club to show interest in Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz, who has struggled to impress at Juventus.

Douglas Luiz has struggled to adapt to Juventus since joining Aston Villa for a world-record €50m in the summer, a disappointment that has turned into pressure for Bianconeri fans.

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reports that Nottingham Forest have become the latest club to show interest in Douglas Luiz in the January transfer window, hoping to strengthen Nuno Espirito Santo’s midfield as the team continues to fly high.

The 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder is being แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ watched by a number of Premier League clubs, including his former clubs Aston Villa and Manchester City.

Luiz has played 12 games in all competitions for Motta’s side, including eight in Serie A, six of which came as a substitute, three in the Champions League and, most recently, a 2-1 loss to AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals.

However, Luiz has yet to hit the ground running. He seemed to be lagging on the physical level after joining Thiago Motta’s ranks at a relatively late stage of the club’s pre-season preparations. The 26-year-old thus failed to carve himself a regular starting role in the early going, and then suffered an injury in October which ruled him out for a couple of months.

Luiz is now hoping to turn the page and step up to the plate in the second half of the season. However, this could be quite challenging amidst the strong competition for starting places with the likes of Teun Koopmeiners, Khephren Thuram and Teun Koopmeiners. Therefore, a January exit hasn’t been completely rule out.
