David Luiz (Chelsea) – Centre-Back (£50 million)
Having won multiple titles with both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, David Luiz has lived upto his world record transfer fee for a centre-back by delivering in crucial matches. While Luiz made a huge £34 million move back to Chelsea last season, he set the world record transfer fee when he was sold to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain for £50 million by Chelsea in 2014.
In PSG, Luiz won all the 4 domestic trophies in the two seasons he was there and he widely cemented his reputation as one of the best centre-backs from Brazil. While his return to Chelsea raised a lot of eyebrows, Luiz repaid the faith of Conte by being an absolute rock in the heart of the defence for the Premier League champions.
Tipped to be the club captain along with Gary Cahill next season, Luiz’s world record transfer fee could be broken by Virgil van Dijk in this transfer window.
