‘He’s worse now than when he left’
French journalist Julien Laurens has criticized the re-signing of David Luiz by Chelsea, claiming he is a worse player now than when he left 2 years ago.
The Blues re-signed Luiz late on deadline day for almost £20million less than they sold him for in 2014, with Antonio Conte desperate to sign a centre-back before the window shut.
But Le Parisien journalist Laurens has slammed Luiz for his spell at PSG, suggesting the Ligue 1 champions couldn’t believe their luck when Chelsea showed an interest.
Laurens said: “He’s been a liability for PSG more than anything else. Everybody remembers the game he had against Barcelona and Luis Suarez, who nutmegged him twice, in the Champions League quarter-final.
“He humiliated him at the Parc des Princes and I think it’s enough to say he hasn’t improved at all since leaving Chelsea.
“He’s probably coming back a worse player than he was when he left.”
