However, his second stint with the London side did not go as he would have hoped for as he was forced to settle down for a role on the bench during Antonio Conte's reign in the English capital, with the Italian preferring the services of young defender Andreas Christensen instead.
With Antonio Conte now gone and Maurizio Sarri taking over, David Luiz has come to the fore once again due to his ability to perform as a ball-playing centre-back that suits the manager's tactics and he has done really well to revive his career at the Stamford Bridge, becoming the first-choice option at the heart of the defence and recording 17 appearances to his name for the Premier League giants across all competitions so far this season.

Jidonu’s tryst with football started after watching the 2002 FIFA World Cup final between Brazil and Germany, being mesmerized by Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Barcelona philosophy and approach towards the game under Pep Guardiola further fueled the burgeoning love for the sport, and he has been a Culer ever since.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo. The 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where Messi's brace led to La Albiceleste lifting the cup left a lasting impact on him. His love for Messi also sees him follow Major League Soccer apart from Europe’s top five leagues.
