The precarious situation surrounding David Luiz at Stamford Bridge could be set to come to a head as we approach the winter transfer window.
The Brazilian is one of the most iconic players ever to pull on a Chelsea shirt. His fuzzy hair, THAT penalty in Munich, and countless heroic performances. A club legend? Perhaps not, but his name is firmly etched into the club’s hall of fame.
