REVEALED: How Frank Lampard ripped into David Luiz before Brazilian’s shock Arsenal move on deadline day

More information has emerged over how Chelsea boss Frank Lampard ripped into David Luiz before his move to Arsenal where he criticised one of his pre-season performances.

The 32-year-old was allowed to join the Gunners on deadline day after the Brazilian centre-back was deemed surplus to requirements.

Luiz got his Arsenal career off to the perfect start last week as he started in the 2-1 win against Burnley, but his real test will be at Anfield in Saturday’s late kick-off.

And while he might have impressed against the Clarets, he failed to prove his worth to Lampard during the 5-3 win against Red Bull Salzburg last month.

According to the Independent, the ex-Derby gaffer gave Luiz a “bing* over his display, which created a tension between the two men.

They state that both Lampard and the former Paris Saint-Germain star were happy to part ways with Luiz finally joining the North Londoners – two years after a proposed move fell through, report The Sun.

Commenting on how the move materialised, Luiz told ESPN Brasil: “In talks with Frank [Lampard], he had a different plan for the year. So we spoke in total honesty and he made it clear that he had different ideas from mine.

“So I had this opportunity to receive an offer from Arsenal, which is a great club.

“I still respect Chelsea. It’s never easy for people to understand everything that goes on.

“But my decision was also to respect Chelsea and their new manager, who wanted to implement a different philosophy at the club.

“And so I decided to get on this new journey, a new home, where I’ll do everything to shine as well.”

He also claimed he joined Arsenal because he “is a guy with ambition”, and is determined to win silverware with his new club.
