Arsenal rival European heavyweights for surprise Chelsea raid

Arsenal are supposedly considering a £30million swoop for Chelsea defender David Luiz, who has likewise been connected with Manchester United and European giants Real Madrid.

The Brazilian has been out of the starting line up at Stamford Bridge of late, and the Daily Express states Arsenal are the most recent club to demonstrate an enthusiasm for him.

It’s not regularly players move between the Blues and the Gunners, yet it has occurred on a couple of times in the most recent decade, with Ashley Cole, William Gallas and Petr Cech among the greatest names to do as such.

Arsene Wenger apparently considers Luiz to be an alternative to enhance his side’s poor defence this season, with Shkodran Mustafi failing to perform consistently in spite of some better than average showings.

Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker are additionally not getting any more youthful and Luiz could be a good option here, with the Express announcing that he could move for around £30m, which is good for today’s market.

The 30-year-old was eminent for Chelsea last season, but Antonio Conte has to a great extent chopped him out of the team this season after only a couple of slip-ups.

Andreas Christensen has had his spot in the starting XI, and that could now be further bolstering Arsenal’s good fortune.
