Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva is backing David Luiz to succeed at the club.

The Brazilian switched for Chelsea for North London this past summer in one of most surprising moves of the window.

And Silva says his countrymen can handle expectations at the Emirates.

He said: "It's not so easy to move from one big club to another because the expectation is so high.

"I know it was important for him to score the winning goal and I hope he keeps doing well for the team, this is what I wish from him.

"He's a Brazilian, we always support them, it doesn't matter where they are."
