It seemed that Luan would be on his way to Spartak Moscow for £18m earlier this Summer, but that deal collapsed, and  Zero Hoya are now reporting that Liverpool and Arsenal are keen to sign the 24-year-old. 

Liverpool and Arsenal have already strengthened their squads this summer, but Arsene Wenger has said that Arsenal will need to clear some fringe players before they add any more new signings.

"Too much competition for places is detrimental, but not enough competition for places is detrimental as well.

As for Liverpool, the departure of Phillipe Coutinho to Barcelona seems imminent, and Luan could be one of the players that Liverpool will look to as a potential replacement or squad player. 

Luan only has one ap for the Brazillian national team, but he is expected to be a part of the squad that will face Colombia and Ecuador in the upcoming World cup qualifiers.
