Nottingham Forest midfielder Douglas Luiz has sealed a return to Aston Villa on a loan deal until the end of the season.
The Brazil international spent five years at Villa Park between 2019 and 2024, and was a key member of the side that secured Champions League qualification in Unai Emery's first full-season in charge of the club.
He left Villa in the summer of 2024 to sign for Juventus and after a middling debut season in Italy, he joined Forest on loan last summer.
The 27-year-old has made 14 appearances this season, and has started just once in the league under Sean Dyche and now finds himself back at Villa Park.
