Chelsea
defender David Luiz wants to move to Arsenal,
Sky Sports News
understands.
The Blues centre-back trained away from the rest of Frank Lampard's squad on
Wednesday.
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has told Sky Sports News he wants to sign a
centre-back before Thursday's deadline and it is understood Luiz is on his
shortlist, although there has been no formal bid for him at this stage.
"If we can on the last day, we will try to sign another centre-back, but one
who has the capacity to help us," said Emery.
"We have a lot of defensive players. Maybe, it is different when Laurent
Koscielny tells us he wanted to leave.
"We tried to sign some important, expensive players for our defence. But
when we can't do that, the second line players don't really convince us to
sign them."
Chelsea are reluctant to let Luiz - who signed a two-year contract extension
in May - go to Arsenal due to their ban on registering new players until
next summer.
