Ex-Arsenal defender David Luiz in talks over Benfica return

The Brazilian has been a free agent since leaving Emirates Stadium in June, but is now set to head back to Estadio Da Luz for a second spell

Former Arsenal defender David Luiz is in talks with Benfica over a return to the club, Goal can confirm.

Luiz became a free agent after his last contract at Arsenal expired on June 30, ending his two-year stint at Emirates Stadium.

The 34-year-old could now be set to head back to Benfica, where he previously played between 2007 and 2011, with the club's current head coach Jorge Jesus having already approved the move.
