Aston Villa announced on Wednesday that summer signing Douglas Luiz has now been cleared to play for the club having received his work permit.
Dean Smith’s side signed the Brazilian from Manchester City towards the end of last month.
Luiz never actually turned out for the Premier League giants, instead spending each of the last two seasons at Girona.

City had attempted to secure a work permit for the 21-year-old ahead of the 2018-19 campaign but that was turned down.
The attacker has now been cleared to represent Villa, though, and linked up with his new teammates at Bodymoor Heath on Wednesday.
Villa’s official Twitter account later posted the message – “Signed. Sealed. Delivered”.

As expected, the image of Luiz brought a strong response from the club’s fans on social media, who might well have the chance to see their new signing in action against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
