Roy Hodgson apparently blasted Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and manager Laurent Blanc for paying Chelsea €50m for David Luiz.

According to French newspaper L'Equipe, the England manager met the pair during the World Cup and let them know exactly what he thought about the error-prone Brazilian centre-back.

The paper reports that Hodgson told the pair: "But how could your club take David Luiz? He makes at least one error in concentration a game! €50m is crazy."

Eyebrows were raised when PSG announced the massive move for the floppy-haired 27-year-old, who put in one of the worst ever individual displays in World Cup history against Germany in the semi-final.

Captaining Brazil in the absence of Thiago Silva, Luiz was all at sea as the rampant Germans scored seven goals, including four in six embarrassing minutes for the hosts.
