Frank Lampard on David Luiz's Chelsea Exit: I Wasn't Trying to 'Flex My Muscles'

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has denied the decision to sell David Luiz to Arsenal was part of a dressing room power play.

Luiz joined the Gunners in a surprise £8 million move on Thursday.

Per Goal's Nizaar Kinsella, Luiz was popular in the Blues' squad, but Lampard said his sale was not about sending a message to the other players:

"I would never have gone out to make any form of a mark. I think it would have been naive to try to flex my muscles or my power.
