Arsenal have gained momentum in their pursuit of Douglas Luiz as Aston Villa are keen to sign Gunners star Emile Smith Rowe according to reports.

Meanwhile, Smith Rowe has been a long-term target for Villa and they have noted that offers of £25m and £30m for the player were rejected in 2021.

Tomas Rosicky has been working lately as the manager of the Sparta Prague children’s club.
He has been in the job for five years and helped them win the Czech First League title last season.
They are top of the table after 19 games this season and are in the Europa League play-offs.
Rosicky told The Athletic: “The plan to repair the honour and pride of the club. That meant winning the league and qualifying for the Champions League.
“I’m proud of our progress, but we still have to finish the final part. “
“When I did this work, I never had the ambition to do it anywhere else here.
“It’s a natural love for the club I started at. “
Tomas Rosicky has revealed the effect of his battles with injury on his intellectual well-being.
The Czech midfielder was left broken after being told he may have to hang up his boots.
He told The Athletic: “The worst moment is when you don’t know if you’re going to play again. You see that the doctors don’t know what to do with you.
“I remember one doctor telling me I might not play again. I was 27 and coming to my best years as a football player.
“I was mentally destroyed. Everything went blurry, I don’t remember the moments after.
“It’s like your life ends because you do what you love and all of a sudden you don’t have it anymore.
“I could never have made it back if I didn’t have that work ethic to play again, recover, and win trophies.”
Tomas Rosicky’s time at Arsenal was marred by injuries and he missed an 18-month period due to a general knee tendon rupture.
Rosicky opened up about his fitness issues, revealing to The Athletic: “They tried to reattach the tendon, but it didn’t work.
“I kept getting close to training, but every time I couldn’t sprint. It was setback after setback.
“It was tough, 2008 was the year we thought we would win the championship. In the summer, there was the European Championship, I was captain of the Czech national team and I missed it.
“If you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, it’s not easy.
“You depend on your family, on the people around you, but it’s also a very difficult time for them.
“They need to help you, but you just need to be alone, you don’t need to drag them into your problems. Sometimes you behave towards them in a way they don’t deserve. “
Tomas Rosicky has opened up about the 2007/08 season in which Arsenal chased the title.
The Gunners came up short in the end: five Man Utd numbers.
Rosicky told The Athletic: “I searched for it so much that I almost owned it. I did everything I could to make it happen. “
“That was the moment when I enjoyed football the most. The team we had, the quality, the way we came together, the way we played.
“There was a lot of friendship within the group. This can give you some leeway. If something happens to your friend, protect them. It’s personal. “
“But on the other hand, it also became the worst time for me because I got injured in January.
“After that, Robin van Persie was injured, Eduardo broke his leg and we didn’t have the strength to finish him off. “
Former Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky has revealed he thought he could “win it all” when he signed for the club in 2006.
In fact, it took Rosicky 8 years to get a trophy, and he only won the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2014, his decade with the Gunners.
But the finalist told The Athletic: “At the end of the day, [the lack of cutlery] wouldn’t have replaced my brain anyway. I looked for Arsenal and only Arsenal. “

Gary Neville believes Tottenham can overtake Arsenal in the league this season.
Spurs have been plagued by a number of injuries this season and with the return of James Maddison, Neville believes they can knock their rivals out of the top four.
He said: “If they keep their players fit, they are a certainty to finish in the top four and I think they can get to second and third.
“With those players coming back, and if they can get through the next few weeks, I think they can be better than Arsenal and Liverpool this season. “
Richarlison was back on Tottenham’s scoreboard and took his tally to seven in the Premier League.
That is now more goals than any of Arsenal’s attacking stars.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is reportedly in complex talks with Arsenal over a new contract.
The flexible defender sees his contract expire in 18 months, there are chances of a one-year extension.
Tomiyasu is “discussing the final points” of an advanced deal, says Fabrizio Romano.
Arsenal are hoping to link Ben White to a longer contract.
Takehiro Tomiyasu was left out of the Japan squad for their Asian Cup win over Vietnam.
The defender was called up to the 26-man squad but wasn’t even on the bench as he possibly wouldn’t be 100 per cent compatible after a calf injury.
Japan won 4-2 and Tomiyasu is expected to be able to play a role in the tournament in the final stages.
Arsenal have continued to track Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi since last year.
Now, reports in Spain suggest that the midfielder is once again among the most sensible on Mikel Arteta’s wish list.
Zubimendi’s contract runs until 2027 and it contains a £50m release clause.
Barcelona are willing to sign the Spaniard.
Getafe striker Borja Mayoral has reportedly been on Arsenal’s radar.

Arsenal are in a position to intensify their interest in Santiago Giménez.

The Mexican is believed to be a much less expensive option than Ivan Toney.
But the Gunners will face the West Ham festival, according to Teamtalk.
Arsenal fans would probably have been concerned that Takehiro Tomiyasu would be left out of Japan’s squad for the Asian Cup opener against Vietnam.
But no.
The defender has no new injury problems. He was out of shape due to a lack of fitness, after a long absence due to a calf injury.
Japan won the match 4-2.
Amadou Onana is open for a move to Arsenal, according to reports.
Journalist Ben Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “Everton need to keep Amadou Onana, and if they need to move, they will expect £50m or more. Let’s not pay £33 million in Lille.
“We have seen links with Manchester United and Arsenal, but nothing is advanced and both sides would be unable to proceed in January at that kind of price even if they wanted to.
“The concept that Everton will offer a discounted deal, because of their monetary situation, is wrong, as far as I know. It will be another this summer, but Onana is not a player Everton need, or consider, to waste mid-season.
“Onana is open to Arsenal but I am aware of any progress at the moment. “
Pep Guardiola says Arsenal enthusiasts are concerned about his recent poor form.
Before City beat Newcastle, he said: “Even Arsenal lost points. I saw how they lost to West Ham, for example.
“Against Liverpool in the FA Cup, how well they’re playing. Opportunities that create and grant few but don’t get results. The same goes when we don’t score goals against Crystal Palace, Liverpool or Tottenham; It happens sometimes.
It is possible that Borja Mayoral is simply “unsuccessful” for the Gunners, who may struggle to reach the £22m value.
Journalist Dean Jones tells me that Arsenal have very little financial room for manoeuvre.
“The links to Mayoral are being shot down from every angle, and that’s not a major surprise to me because even at £22m, I think he might be out of reach as things stand,” Jones said.
“It’s hard to understand that Arsenal don’t have the resources to make offers for players like this, but they do. I don’t rule out the idea of a deal this month, but they have very little room for manoeuvre. “Economically and there are no negotiations on the signing of Mayoral. “
Cesc Fabregas has begged Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso to sign for Arsenal.

Douglas Luiz is focused on Aston Villa as he has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
“I’m completely focused here. I don’t spend a lot of time watching the stories,” Luiz revealed.
“I see them, but I don’t focus on them and I don’t look at them every day. My head is here at Aston Villa.
“Aston Villa is a club that opened its doors to me when I arrived in England, so I have a lot of affection and love for them. Unai, honestly, is a coach. Since I arrived here, it has replaced the history of the club.
“Aston Villa is a very big club in England, but things weren’t going so well. Unai has changed it. Now, people respect the club and the players more.”
