Arsenal have completed the signing of David Luiz from Chelsea in an £8million deal.
The Brazilian defender has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Gunners after he expressed his desire to move across London.
Luiz only penned a new two-year contract at Stamford Bridge earlier this year, having impressed under Maurizio Sarri last
term.

But after being an unused substitute in last weekend’s final pre-season friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach, he feared being only a bit-part player under new boss Frank
Lampard.
Thus, after issues at the club’s Cobham training base earlier this week, Lampard gave the green light to letting Luiz depart.
Luiz did not train with the Chelsea first team on Wednesday before he finalised his move across London.
He will wear the Jersey number 23 for the upcoming season.
