Chelsea to offer David Luiz new contract

Chelsea are set to renew David Luiz's contract in an effort to keep him at the club, reports the Evening Standard. Luiz’s current deal expires at the end of the season, but Chelsea are planning to open talks over a one-year extension. David Luiz, speaking to BT Sport after the 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Saturday, said: “In the first week I spoke with him (Sarri). I said to him that ‘I am going to work hard to show you I want to play in your team, with your philosophy’. “I had two offers from different clubs but I told Chelsea I wanted to stay. Would I have gone if Conte stayed? For sure. “But they changed for Sarri and I have tried to convince Sarri I want to stay at Chelsea. I am playing now and enjoying it. I didn’t play (for most of) the last six months (under Conte). “Sarri is human, he wants us to take pleasure in playing football. He said every day we have to enjoy it.”
