David Luiz eyeing second Chelsea debut this weekend

New Chelsea signing David Luiz is eyeing up a second debut for the club against Swansea City this weekend.

Chelsea completed the £34million signing of Luiz from PSG on transfer deadline day and there has understandably been a lot of excitement among the Blues' supporters upon the return of the popular Brazilian.

Luiz started training with the Chelsea first team on Tuesday and the Daily Mirror have claimed that the 29-year-old is now hopeful of making his second debut for the West London club at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.

Following the completion of his move to Chelsea, Luiz had expressed his desire to play at Stamford Bridge once again: "I'm delighted to return to Chelsea. We had a fantastic story during my first time at the club and I want to help the team and Antonio Conte achieve a lot of success.

"I always had a wonderful relationship with the fans and I am looking forward to wearing the blue shirt at Stamford Bridge once again."
