On the deadline day of the summer transfer window, the Brazilian defender who spent six seasons in two spells with Chelsea moved across London to join the rivals for mere £8m.
Much has been written and said since then but Lucas Moura, Spurs striker has probably given his best description of the situation:
“I am happy for him because it was a good transfer for him to make.
I am also happy because he is closer to me now. He can come visit me at my home easier because when he was at Chelsea, he was so far away!”
Lucas has grown close to our ex-defender, having played with him at PSG between 2014-16 but he sweeps all friendship aside, talking about David Luiz’s decision to swap Chelsea for Arsenal:
“Was I surprised he left Chelsea for Arsenal? That’s football. Anything can happen.
Of course it is not normal because the two clubs face each other every year in a derby.
Chelsea fans are not happy. But everyone needs to do their choice and they need to respect them.”
