Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc believes that David Luiz is one of the finest defenders n world football.
The Brazil international moved to PSG from Chelsea for an eye-watering £50m back in the summer and the Frenchman thinks that very few players have the all-round ability of Luiz.
‘He is not your typical defender," Blanc told French media. ‘He is good physically but also offensively and has the technical ability of a [number] six or eight. In front of goal, he has the ability of an offensive player.
‘There are plenty of defenders who are good in the air or good with a duel, but believe me, there are very few like David Luiz. He has the ability to dribble past two or three players.
‘There are a lot like me, but I think it is an advantage to his have type of player [in the squad]."
