David Luiz reportedly wants to quit Chelsea for London rivals Arsenal. The Gunners are keen on recruiting the Brazil international before Thursday's transfer deadline, and the centre-back reportedly refused to train with the Blues on Wednesday.
Luiz's desire to swap Stamford Bridge for the Emirates Stadium was first reported by L'Equipe's Hugo Delom (h/t Get French Football News). He described "advanced contacts" between the player and the Gunners.
Chelsea are reluctant to let Luiz join a rival, and the Blues' reticence prompted Luiz to miss training.
However, Matt Law of The Daily Telegraph reported "Chelsea are thought to be open to letting Luiz go with head coach Frank Lampard now unlikely to consider the Brazilian for selection.
