Frank Lampard: My thoughts on Chelsea re-signing David Luiz
FRANK LAMPARD has given his backing to David Luiz’s return to Chelsea.
Frank Lampard believes Chelsea have made the right decision to re-sign David Luiz
The Brazilian completed a sensational deadline day move to Stamford Bridge for around £34m last month, signing a three-year deal.
With Antonio Conte failing to secure the signatures of Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli, the Italian had to move quickly to bring in Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain.
And Chelsea legend Lampard believes it’s a decision that will help his former side challenge for titles.
“It’s a good signing. I played with David,” the New York City star told The Sun.
“He’s a great defender, great energy. At today’s prices, it’s probably not a bad signing generally.”
Luiz spent three seasons with Lampard at Stamford Bridge before moving to the French champions in 2014.

The pair played a huge part in helping the Blues to win the Champions League, FA Cup and Europa League during that time.
Luiz is likely to make his second Chelsea debut this weekend when Conte’s men travel to Swansea on Sunday (4pm).
