Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Trinidad and Tobago International Dwight Yorke has hit out at Arsenal for attempting to sign Doglas Luiz from Aston Villa last summer.<\/p>\n

He also slammed those in charge of Aston Villa\u2019s transfer business for taking Arsenal\u2019s money for the player he believes is not worth the offer.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa turned down Arsenal\u2019s multiple offers for the player including a \u00a325 million bid.<\/p>\n

Arsenal had to turn to Chelsea\u2019s Jorginho when it was clear the Villains were not willing to let the midfielder go<\/p>\n

Luiz, meanwhile, ended up signing a new contract with Villa but Yorke, a former Manchester United man, believes the Brazilian is not good enough to improve Arsenal\u2019s midfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand why Aston Villa didn\u2019t take the money for Luiz in the summer,\u201d Yorke told LegalSportsbooks.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s a super player to take Arsenal to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand the hype from the summer when Arsenal nearly signed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s a top four player.\u201d<\/p>\n
