Chelsea staff begged Luiz to return but Brazilian intends to achieve ‘big things’ at Arsenal

The defender severed ties with those at Stamford Bridge for a second time in the summer of 2019, as he crossed London to Emirates Stadium

David Luiz claims staff members at Chelsea begged him to come back to the club shortly after he took the decision to cross London and link up with Arsenal in the summer of 2019.

The Brazil international had 12 months left to run on his contract with the Blues when taking the decision to bid farewell to Stamford Bridge for a second time.

Back in 2014 the South American completed a big-money switch to Paris Saint-Germain, only to return to familiar surroundings two years later.
