'They've taken our poorest defender' - Chelsea couldn't believe Arsenal wanted Luiz, says Cascarino

Luiz's second spell at Stamford Bridge came to end on August 8 when he completed an £8 million ($11m) switch to Emirates Stadium.

The Brazilian has always been error-prone, but his final year at Chelsea was arguably his worst yet, and Frank Lampard made it clear that he would not be in his plans for the 2019-20 campaign.
