David Luiz welcomes PFA nod but wants Premier League title at Chelsea

The Brazilian defender has seen his efforts this season recognised by his peers, but he admits silverware is all that matters for the Blues

Chelsea’s David Luiz would happily swap his place in the PFA Team of the Year for a guaranteed Premier League title winners’ medal.

Having returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2016, the Brazilian defender has displayed an added maturity to his game this season.

Those efforts have been recognised by his peers, with Luiz making the PFA selection alongside club colleagues Gary Cahill, N’Golo Kante and Eden Hazard.

David Luiz: I'm a better player now

He is, however, happy to admit that personal recognition will mean nothing if Chelsea fail to secure collective honours.
