The Chelsea manager thinks Luiz can become one of the best defenders in the world

Antonio Conte has claimed he intends to improve David Luiz – and hopefully make him one of the best defenders in the world.

This weekend, the Brazilian looks set to make his second debut for Chelsea, after previously playing for the Blues several seasons ago. He went on to join PSG, but only after winning the hearts of most Chelsea fans in the process.

Now, he is back at Stamford Bridge after agreeing a ÂŁ32m deal on transfer deadline day, with the player himself desperate to return to England. Luiz managed to push through a move and now he is set to become a key part of new manager Antonio Conte’s plans.

Luiz was ’50/50′ in first spell at Chelsea

The club was desperate to bring in another defender and after a summer of searching high and low for a suitable signing, they eventually brought their former player back to the club. In his first spell at Stamford Bridge, he could be a bit ’50/50′ at times – some games he would be brilliant and in others he would make several big errors.

However, after a few seasons in France with PSG, he has returned with even more experience and skill and now, according to reports, Conte has claimed he intends to improve Luiz even more and perhaps make him one of the best defenders in the world.

The Blues boss said: “Every player, until the end of their career, can improve. Even when you are 32, 33, 36… you can always improve.

“David Luiz is 29, a fantastic age for him to become one of the best defenders in the world. I’m seeing great commitment from him.

He wants to play for Chelsea. This is a great opportunity for him and for us, also to improve. I repeat: he has good characteristics to become a fantastic defender.”
