Transfer deadline day has the capacity to send football fans over the edge and one Chelsea supporter had clearly reached breaking point as he was seen punching a poster of David Luiz outside Stamford Bridge – and, thankfully, it was all captured on live television.

Arsenal have been on the lookout for a centre-back following Laurent Koscielny’s move to Bordeaux earlier this week and the north London club reportedly agreed an £8million deal with Chelsea for Luiz with just hours remaining of the transfer window.

The 32-year-old Brazil international trained away from Chelsea’s first-team this week in an attempt to force through a move to the Gunners.



He would be the fifth player through the doors at the Emirates this summer, with Dani Ceballos (loan), Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe and William Saliba – who has been loaned back to Saint-Etienne – also signing on the dotted line.


With Chelsea expected to make an announcement over Luiz’s departure imminently, Sky Sports reporter Gary Cotterill stood outside Stamford Bridge waiting for updates.

Cotterill, though, was upstaged by an enraged Chelsea supporter in the background who was busy picking a fight with a giant poster of Luiz on the walls of the stadium.

Some Chelsea fans have even been bombarding David Luiz’s restaurant with a series of one-star reviews as the Brazilian edges closer to joining bitter rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners are also expected to announce Kieran Tierney’s arrival in the coming hours after the Celtic left-back traveled down from Glasgow on Wednesday night for a medical.

Martin Keown believes his former club are making a huge mistake in signing David Luiz from Chelsea.

‘If I was at Arsenal and had the ear of Unai Emery, I would be advising my manager not to sign David Luiz,’ he told The Daily Mail.

‘Walk away from this deal. This is not the defender for you. It’s too high risk.

‘Yes, Arsenal want a centre back, but is Luiz the answer to their prayers? I don’t think so.

‘The way the 32-year-old plays, he would be exposed in that Arsenal defence. He would not get the same protection that he enjoys at Chelsea, where N’Golo Kante patrols in front of the back line.

‘In possession, Luiz is a wonderful passer, but he makes mistakes when playing as part of a back four. ‘He has a tendency to lose his marker and is one of those all-or-nothing players — if he doesn’t win the ball in a challenge, then congratulations because you’re in.’
