'My dream is to end my career at Benfica' - Luiz reveals talks with former club as Arsenal exit looms

Arsenal defender David Luiz has revealed that he has held talks with Benfica over a possible return to the club this summer.

Goal has reported that the Gunners have yet to decide whether to take up the option to extend Luiz's stay at Emirates Stadium by an extra year, with his current contract set to expire in June.

The Brazilian joined Arsenal from Chelsea in an £8 million deal back in August, and has since racked up 32 appearances across all competitions for the north London outfit.
