2- David Luiz- Chelsea
When Chelsea signed David Luiz they thought that they were getting one of the best young defenders in the world. However, the Brazilian has struggled to hold down a regular position in the Blues team, often being used as a central midfielder because of his desire to get forward and start attacks. While he can play a brilliant pass or score a fantastic free-week, his desire to get forward has caused problems at the back for Chelsea and has meant he is often not given a place in central defence. Jose Mourinho likes strong, reliable centre backs and reports suggest that he is ready to sell Luiz because he doesn’t rate his defensive abilities. This has meant that a whole host of clubs have become interested in the Brazilian, with Barcelona and Paris St Germain both said to be possible destinations. Both see Luiz’s desire to go forward as a positive and think that he can be moulded into a quality centre-back. At Barcelona, being good on the ball is a minimum requirement for a centre back because they often get attacks going while PSG hope to pair Luiz with another Brazilian, Thiago Silva.
