**Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alex_crook/status/1487718974230044673?s=21), talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has made a Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.**

It is believed that the likes of [Atletico Madrid forward Yannick Carrasco](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-lilywhites-have-taken-steps-for-yannick-carrasco/) and [Brighton star Yves Bissouma](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-transfer-news-bissouma-spence-26083138) are on the Lilywhites’ radar in what is looking to be a very interesting final day.

Some sources have even suggested [‘several](https://twitter.com/ajwood16/status/1487906329930915846?s=21)‘ incomings at Tottenham today, with talkSPORT reporter Crook now dropping an enticing claim on social media.

### The Latest: Watch out…

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alex_crook/status/1487718974230044673?s=21), the journalist has said that Luiz to Spurs could be ‘one to watch’ today.

Villa’s midfielder has recently earned [praise from his manager Steven Gerrard](https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/2022/01/26/steven-gerrard-pushing-aston-villas-fantastic-luiz-to-deliver-more/), but with 18 months left on his contract, Luiz has been [linked with a move away from the Midlands club.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/17460402/arsenal-douglaz-luiz-swoop-villa-bruno/)

### The Verdict: Get it done?

Since moving to the Midlands from Manchester City in 2019, the 23-year-old has impressed overall, with journalist Gregg Evans of The Athletic calling Luiz an ‘absolute star’, a ‘joy to watch’ and ‘fantastic’ (1874 Podcast, via [This is Futbol](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/07/blogs/premier-league/aston-villa-gregg-evans-heaps-praise-on-douglas-luiz/)) in the summer of 2020.

The Brazil international’s young age and Premier League experience could also be a real incentive for Spurs to move for him, especially considering that some sources suggest he could be available for around [€35m (£29m)](https://www.ilromanista.eu/news/as-roma/123927/henrichs-lalternativa-a-dalot-pua-arrivare-grillitsch).

In what is shaping up to be a very interesting deadline day at Tottenham, the coming hours could either shape or unravel this potential move.
