Former Arsenal defender David Luiz signs deal until December 2022 with Flamengo to seal return to his homeland Brazil after FINALLY ending search for a new club

Former Arsenal defender David Luiz has signed a deal until December 2022 with Brazilian side Flamengo.

The 34-year-old departed the Emirates in July after the club decided not to extend his contract as they were keen to get his £100,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.

Luiz has been a free agent all summer and reportedly turned down moves to Marseille and Italian top-flight team Salernitana, with the centre-back in favour of a return to his native Brazil.
