David Luiz MUST end his career at Benfica according to club legend Nuno Gomes - who would 'love it' if the Brazilian swapped Arsenal for the Portuguese club where he rose to stardom

Arsenal defender David Luiz has been urged to return to Benfica to end his career by club legend Nuno Gomes.

The 33-year-old made a name for himself at Benfica, where he played for four seasons from 2007 before joining Chelsea in 2011 for £21.5million. He then moved across London to Arsenal in the summer of 2019.

The centre-back played in Arsenal's Europa League tie against his old club on Thursday night.
