DONE DEAL: David Luiz returns to Chelsea from PSG

Chelsea have confirmed the sensational signing of David Luiz.

The Brazilian defender has returned to Stamford Bridge from French giants PSG on a three-year deal.

Luiz, 29, departed West London for Paris two years ago for a fee of £50million but is now back in blue for a fee believed to be around £38m.

The Chelsea favourite told the club's official website: “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."

During his two years with PSG, Luiz won two Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France and two Coupe de la Ligue trophies.
