Some Arsenal fans have been bemoaning the latest news over David Luiz after it emerged the defender is set to depart the club this season.

According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian informed the Gunners of his decision during a meeting at the training ground yesterday afternoon. It has also emerged that had the club offered a new deal to the former Chelsea man, he would’ve rejected in favour for a move away.

After a poor start to his career in N5, which included giving away five penalties and amassing plenty of red cards, he put that all behind him to lead the club to FA Cup glory over his old employers.

However, this campaign has been marred by injuries with the player more recently missing out on the crucial Europa League tie versus Villarreal due to a hamstring injury.
