Arsenal defender, David Luiz should thank God for his one-year contract extension at the club, Emmanuel Petit has said.
Petit recently revealed that the Brazilian has not played like a proper footballer since 2017.
According to him, he was disappointed by the decision to keep the CB in London, but it was a very typical move from the now average Arsenal.
He added that even when Luiz won the EPL with Chelsea, he showed that he had lost something and he is not the same player we all liked.
His words, “David Luiz hasn’t been a proper footballer for about three years,”
“But I’m not surprised that he has been given a new contract at Arsenal, because I’ve been very disappointed in relation to the club’s activity in the transfer market.
“I’ve been particularly upset in relation to the defenders. We all know one of Arsenal’s major weaknesses is their defence and nothing has changed. This makes me miss Arsene Wenger.
“If I was David Luiz, of course I would sign a new deal and I would also say a prayer of thanks to the Arsenal directors every time I wake up.
“Even when he last won the Premier League with Chelsea, he’s not the same player any more. This guy has lost something.
“To be honest, it’s a joke. Find some proper defenders. Are you telling me there are no young talented defenders on the market? I just don’t get it.”
“Does anyone think the Arsenal executives and directors know what they’re doing on the football side of things?
“For the last few years they have been splashing out on the transfer market – and have brought in some decent players – but I don’t know what their target or project for the future is.
“It’s far worse now than in the last years under Wenger. What is the point of being one of the richest clubs on the planet with no reason or vision behind it?”
