David Luiz: Last News

Paul Pogba has been slammed for thinking he is better than he is as he prepares to leave Manchester United this summer. The France international is out of contract at Old Trafford and will join a new club in the coming weeks.

Arsenal flop David Luiz has been savaged online after missing a sitter in the dying moments of Flamengo's derby defeat to Botafogo.Luiz had an unsuccessful two-year stint with the Gunners after quitting Chelsea back in 2019, with the erratic defender perhaps best remembered for a string of high-profile clangers. The 35-year-old returned to his native Brazil last year to see out his career.He penned a 15-month deal with Flamengo, who locked horns with their bitter rivals, Botafogo, on Sunday. But Flamengo's sorry start to the season continued as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat - and Luiz has been ridiculed online after spurning a golden last-gasp chance to pinch a point for the Brazilian outfit.Luiz had ghosted into the penalty area and was teed up with a perfect pull-back - but Luiz ballooned his strike wildly over the bar.

Arsenal fans anxiously waiting outside the Emirates for Mesut Ozil’s last minute transfer to be confirmed in 2014 to Harry Redknapp’s hilarious interviews from his car window, it always seems to offer something new.And while Deadline Day can be best summed up as a hopeful if not chaotic end to a January or summer window, it has also provided its fair share of heartbreak and frustration.The latter was certainly the case with one particular Chelsea fan back in the summer of 2019.Arsenal were at the forefront of activity on Deadline Day as they collected a hefty £35million from Everton for Alex Iwobi, before turning their attention to Chelsea defender David Luiz.Luiz ended up being signed at the same time as Kieran Tierney, though his move from Chelsea to London rivals Arsenal was seen as controversial by sections of the Blues support.With a deal yet to be officially announced, one fan was spotted during Sky Sports’ Deadline Day coverage showing exactly what he thought of the transfer.But rather than dishing out a few unkind words at Luiz himself, the Blues fan was caught sizing up and punching a poster of the Brazilian central defender outside Stamford Bridge several times.Luiz later addressed his move to rivals Arsenal by revealing an “honest conversation” he had with manager at the time Frank Lampard.He said: “I always liked Chelsea, no doubt.“I saw a possibility of writing a new story in a new place, but I am grateful to Chelsea, to all people, to friendships that are for life.“It was an individual decision made through honest conversation – between me and Frank Lampard, no one else.Do you think the Luiz poster punch is the funniest Deadline Day moment ever?

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich didn't even want to look at David Luiz before the Champions League final back in 2012 - asking the defender to leave him alone with his nerves.The then-25-year-old defender went on to score Chelsea's first goal in the shootout following Juan Mata's opening miss - putting them on the path for their first major European triumph.Before that vital intervention, there was no guarantee that the former Benfica defender would be able to play following a hamstring injury that kept him out for over a month in the lead-up.Despite ending up a club icon thanks to his notable efforts throughout the 120 minutes and penalty shoot-out, Abramovich was too nervous to exchange pleasantries before kick-off.The 34-year-old told the

Arsenal kick-off the Premier League season this evenigh with a trip across the capital to Brentford.This summer transfer window was supposed to be a monumental one, with the club needing signings in various positions before being able to challenge for the European spots it once took for granted.But that hasn’t been the case, the Gunners having only signed a back-up left-wing back in Nuno Tavares, a midfield prospect in Albert Sambi Lokonga and an upgrade on the departing David Luiz with £50million Ben White.Perhaps the more urgent positions that need addressing – a goalkeeper, a creative midfielder and a right-back – are yet to be filled while rivals Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United look set to spend north of £100million.There
