Froze by Frank Lampard from Chelsea squad, David Luiz to Arsenal

DBasia.news –  The 32-year-old Chelsea defender, David Luiz, suddenly forced his will to move to Arsenal at the end of the summer transfer window. Luiz has a problem with Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.

As reported by the Telegraph, Luiz did not train with the Chelsea first team ahead of the 2019-20 Premier League opening match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday (11/8) at 22:30 Western Indonesian Time.

All of this was triggered by Lampard’s desire to separate him from the Chelsea first team because Luiz was considered a poison in the player’s dressing room. In addition, Luiz wants to leave because he thinks he is no longer trusted by Lampard.

After the victory against RB Salzburg some time ago in the preseason trial match, Lampard prefers to pair Kurt Zouma with Andreas Christensen in the heart of the defense. Add to this the fact Chelsea haven’t yet released Fikayo Tomori as a loan player, it’s clear Chelsea won’t use Luiz’s service.

The issue of Luiz leaving is somewhat unique. Because the club violates the tradition for players aged 30 years or more by giving a two-year contract that Luiz received some time ago. Chelsea usually only gives a one-year contract in the 30-year player category.

The former PSG defender no longer sees his future at Chelsea. Therefore, Luiz forced to leave to Arsenal who happened to be looking for a central defender after Laurent Koscielny left to Girondins Bordeaux.

Unai Emery’s Gunners are also associated with names such as Daniele Rugani (Juventus), Kieran Tierney (Celtic), and Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig). Arsenal wanted Luiz because he still wanted to remain in London.

In addition, there is a revenge factor so he wants to prove to Lampard that his decision to freeze him from the first team is wrong.

Luiz has a good relationship with Emery because he had trained at PSG. Luiz’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, also influenced Arsenal’s decision to make Edu as Technical Director.

Luiz is predicted to go with a tag of five to 10 million pounds. The 56 caps and three goals holder with the Brazilian national team has already had his second season with Chelsea from 2016.

During two periods of strengthening Chelsea, former Benfica defender has won one Premier League title, two FA Cups, one Champions League, and two Europa League.
