Chelsea defender David Luiz ‘poised to sign’ contract extension with Stamford Bridge club
David Luiz is set to commit his immediate future to Chelsea by signing a new one-year contract extension, according to reports.The Brazil international has accepted a new deal which will run until the end of June 2020, claimGoal.1

Luiz has reportedly agreed a new contract with Chelsea

This deal ensures Luiz will remain at Stamford Bridge for at least one extra season with his existing contract due to expire at the end of the ongoing campaign.Chelsea have stuck to their contract policy for elder players in agreeing an extension with Luiz; the west London club refuse to offer over-30s anything other than one-year deals.Luiz is enjoying something of arenaissance under Maurizio Sarri this season, and he finds himself a key member of the first team once again having been forced out by Antonio Conte last term. The 31-year-old has started all but one of Chelsea’s Premier League matches this term, and the single goal he’s scored helped the Blues to a memorable defeat of Manchester City last month.Sarri previously expressed his desire for Chelsea to tie Luiz down on a new contract, insisting it would be very hard for the club to replace a player of his quality and experience.“They are very important players for us,” Sarri said, when discussing Luiz and Cesc Fabregas’ futures with Chelsea. “It is very difficult to find a centre-back for this level and it is difficult to find a centre-midfielder technical like Fabregas, so I think they have to stay with us.

David Luiz's renaissance under Maurizio Sarri

Luiz has performed at a remarkably high level this season, and his form is one of the reasons Chelsea are pushing to finish in the top four and remain challenging for the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League. We take a look at how the Brazil ace has performed in the Premier League this season...

• Appearances – 22
• Goals – 1
• Assists – 2
• Key passes – 13
• Total passes – 1749
• Pass accuracy – 89%
• Dribbles – 10
• Tackles – 21
• Interceptions – 23
• Clearances – 100
• Aerial duels won – 46

“The deal is very difficult for this reason (their ages), the club want a short contract and the players want a long contract, it is difficult for this reason but we can find a solution.“I think David and Cesc are leaders. I think it is important for me and the staff if they stay with us. I know the difficulties of the new deal.“The problem is only, one or two years for a new contract, but I think the club can find a right solution.”
