David Luiz rejoins Blues on three year deal

The Brazil defender left Stamford Bridge to join the French champions in June 2014 in a transfer believed to have been worth £50million.

“I’m delighted to return to Chelsea“, he told the club’s official website.

The flamboyant Brazilian is back at Stamford Bridge after two years at Paris Saint-Germain to reinforce Chelsea’s defense under new manager Antonio Conte.

“We had a fantastic story during my first time at the club”, said Luiz. I can not wait to wear the shirt and play at Stamford Bridge again.

David Luiz was Chelsea’s second signing on the deadline day.

Chelsea have officially announced the signing of Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina while they also have the option of signing Aymen Abdennour on loan from Valencia.

Sunderland became the 13th Premier League team to set a club record for a player by splashing out 16 million euros on Gabon global midfielder Didier Ndong from French side Lorient.

Luiz’s return to the English side will add a much needed boost to the Chelsea defense.

Luiz, who won two consecutive Ligue 1 crowns with PSG, said he wanted to fight for more trophies with Chelsea.

He vowed not to celebrate if he scored against his former club, but did so as PSG advanced on away goals at the expense of Chelsea in March 2015.

Luiz arrived from Paris on transfer deadline day to sign a three-year contract after completing a medical examination and agreeing to personal terms.

One in, one out for Chelsea with winger Juan Cuadrado rejoining Juventus on a rare three-year loan deal.

John Terry and Gary Cahill are the two first choice centre-backs in the squad, along with Kurt Zouma.

“I think David is a very good player”. I love this club, so that’s why I am here. I need to win again.

Conte now has cover in the full-back and central-defensive positions, having started the season with just four fit senior defenders.
