Aston Villa have agreed a deal to re-sign former midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan. The 27-year-old is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest from Juventus, but is set to leave the City Ground before Monday's transfer deadline and join Villa. Another Villa midfielder, Youri Tielemans, is also set for a period on the sidelines after he came off injured at Newcastle on Sunday. Villa are also expected to complete the £18m signing of striker Tammy Abraham from Besiktas imminently after the striker had a medical in the UK. The Turkish side activated an £11.2m option to buy loanee Abraham from Roma on Monday and are now set to sell the 28-year-old to Villa.
