# Arsenal planning January move for Filipe Luis

Arsenal could be about to offer former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis another chance to impress in the Premier Leauge.

[According to reports, as cited on the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/filipe-luis-wanted-arsenal-former-13189256?12), Luis is being considered as a target for the Gunners as he enters the final months of his contract with Atletico Madrid.

Luis was previously believed to be a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer but has remained Atletico Madrid.

Unai Emery is said to be keen to add to his defensive options but may need to convince the player to give the Premier League another go.

Luis had a far from successful stint with Chelsea under Jose Mourinho. The Brazilian failed to hold down a regular place in the side and quickly returned to Madrid.

The defender is valued at around £27 million by the La Liga side but is out of contract at the end of the season.
