Chelsea captain John Terry has declared David Luiz can be his long-term successor.
Nobody has been more impressed with Luiz's performances during his first couple of months on these shores than his Stamford Bridge defensive partner, Terry.
So much so that the England skipper, who has been leading Chelsea for seven glory-filled years, is already convinced Luiz possesses the necessary characteristics to wear the armband one day.
Terry, 30, said: "David is incredible. To have such an impact at such an early stage of his career here is amazing.
"Normally, when a player first comes in it will take him at least three or four weeks to settle but David has come in and hit the ground running straight away.
"It's very different for him over here.
"He has played in Portugal with Benfica, so he is learning about our game all the time.
"We are talking long-term here but, for me, with the quality he has, he is possibly a future captain of this football club."
