There is no doubt that the Brazilian is a very experienced and accomplished player but the fact is that he is 30 himself and has been out injured since October with a knee injury. I can understand that he might want to leave Stamford Bridge after a very public falling out with his manager Antonio Conte but would he really consider a move across London to one of the Blues biggest rivals?
It is also true that Chelsea have found a great replacement for Luiz in the form of the 20 year-old Andreas Christensen, who has received rave reviews since becoming a regular in the Chelsea first team. Conte may not even have a place for Luiz in the starting line up when he returns to the squad, which is expected to be early in January, and that alone may encourage the centre-back to look elsewhere.
We know Wenger thinks that keepers and defenders can have longer careers than other positions, but is Luiz really the answer to our defensive problems?
