Many saw David Luiz’s return to Chelsea in the summer as nothing more than a panic buy after the club missed out on their key defensive targets.

And, even if it was, it hasn’t turned out too badly for the Blues, as the Brazilian international has been nothing short of outstanding this season.

The 29-year-old has welcomed the responsibility of the central role of Conte’s back three with open arms, and he looks and plays more like a defender now than he ever has done.

Luiz is also growing into a real leader at the back for Blues, and will be key to their title challenge as the season progresses.
