Jamie Carragher admits he’s ‘not surprised’ that David Luiz looks set to leave Arsenal.

The Brazilian defender only arrived at the Emirates in an £8million deal from London rivals Chelsea last summer.

However, it has emerged Luiz only signed an initial 12-month deal with the Gunners, according to Sky Sports, and could now be heading for the exit.

Liverpool legend Carragher admits the arrival of William Saliba has edged the 33-year-old out of the door.

He told Sky Sports: “We know he can lack concentration and make poor decisions and that’s cost certain teams. That’s why he’s moved on in his career.

“I know Arsenal are really excited about the prospect of Saliba coming in who will be joining next season. He’s only 19, so I still think they need a little bit more experience in that position.

“To be honest, it’s no surprise they won’t be renewing David Luiz’s contract.”

Luiz won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2017, as well as the Champions League and Europa League during his first spell at Stamford Bridge.

When asked about the centre-back’s career, Carragher added: “It’s been entertaining although maybe that’s something you don’t want to be described about as a defender really.

“He’s not going to change how he plays – no manager’s going to change David Luiz.

“He’s had success through his career, he’s went for big money, he’s got great qualities.

“I think of him at his best in the middle of a back three under [Antonio] Conte the year they won the title and I think that was the best position for him.”
