ANTONIO CONTE AND THE DILEMMA OF DAVID LUIZ'S POSITION

While the versatility of David Luiz provides Conte with options, the head coach has a clear idea of where he feels the Brazilian’s qualities can benefit the team in the best way.

Conte: ‘I think David Luiz is a centre-back, he’s played a lot of games in that position,’ he added. ‘I know sometimes he’s played as a central midfielder but in my mind the idea is to utilise him in the right position which, for me, is centre-back. He’s played with Chelsea previously and he will bring a good personality.’ (ChelseaTv)
