'I always said I would like to end my career at Benfica': David Luiz will not see out his playing days at Arsenal as he admits he wants to return to the Portuguese giants

David Luiz has revealed his intention to end his career at Portuguese giants Benfica, as the Arsenal centre half nears the final 12 months of his contract in north London.

The enigmatic Brazilian joined The Gunners last summer from Chelsea, but has done little to shore up a leaky defence at the Emirates Stadium.

The 33-year-old made a name for himself at Benfica, where he played from 2007-2011 before joining the west London club.
