David Luiz has completed his deadline-day return to Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea confirmed earlier on Wednesday that they had agreed a deal with PSG to bring Luiz back to Stamford Bridge.
And the Brazil defender has now completed personal terms with Chelsea and passed a medical, putting pen to paper on an three-year contract.
The Brazil defender left Stamford Bridge to join the French champions in June 2014 in a transfer believed to have been worth £50million.
Luiz claimed two domestic trebles at PSG and will look to add to the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup trophies he won during his first spell with Chelsea from 2011-2014.
After his return was confirmed, Luiz told the club s official website: I m delighted to retu…
Anger and madness define Diego Costa / Image via express.co.uk
If it’s a pronounced villain that makes every good story a great one, football should be happy to have Diego Costa as its main entertainer, shouldn’t it?
With his teeth out and eyes bulging at rivalling players, Diego Costa is one of those players who feed on the pressure, and who uses his temper to add an edge to his game. This edge often proves to be a big difference on the pitch, but Diego Costa frequently oversteps the mark thus becoming a huge liability for his squad, both at club and country.
Such was the case in his last game for Spain in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Italy, which was just another demonstration of Diego Costa’s untamed nature.

Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt believes Euro 2016 represents the country s best chance of ending their major tournament drought.
Michael O Neill s men get their campaign up and running against Hungary in Budapest and Brunt is confident they can end a rather barren run after being drawn into Group F with Faroe Islands, Greece, Romania, Finland and Sunday s opponents.
Since reaching the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, where they were knocked out in the group stage, Northern Ireland have failed to reach a major tournament.
Under the stewardship of Lawrie Sanchez and then Nigel Worthington, they finished third behind Spain and Sweden in the qualifying campaign for Euro 2008, despite beating Luis Aragones side.
In fact, Northern Ireland have never reached t…
The Daily Star understand that Manchester United are the favourites to sign Luka Modric from Real Madrid this summer.
The Croatia international has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu over the past few months with the European Champions set for an overhaul of their squad this summer.
A move to Old Trafford would see Modric reunited with Jose Mourinho the man who took him to the Spanish capital from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012.
Since signing for Real, the thirty-two year old has racked up almost two hundred and fifty appearances in all competitions, scoring thirteen goals.
During that time he has helped his side win a number of major honours most notably the Champions League in three of the past four seasons.
He also has a La Liga c…
Leonardo Bonucci has extended his contract at Juventus by a further year, agreeing a deal to remain at the club until 2021.
The centre-back was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City prior to the 2016-17 season, but the Italian champions announced his new agreement on Monday.
Bonucci, 29, was previously contracted until 2020, but has added a further year to the deal he signed in July 2015.
He wrote on Twitter: I renewed until 2021! I chose the house where I became great among the greats. One goal: keep winning!
Ho rinnovato fino al 2021! Ho scelto la casa dove sono diventato grande tra i grandi. Un solo obiettivo: continuare a vincere!

Bonucci added to the Juve s website: I am pleased and p…
Cardiff City F.C. have announced the signing of former Manchester United forward Federico Macheda on a three-year deal, according to the club s official website, .
Macheda, 22, will officially join the Bluebirds on 1 July as the club s third signing of the summer transfer window, joining Guido Burgstaller and Javi Guerra at the Cardiff City Stadium.
The 22-year-old striker, who impressed during his loan spells at Birmingham City and Doncaster Rovers last term, worked with Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at United and confirmed the Norwegian played a pivotal role in him signing for the Championship side.
It s a massive opportunity for me and it is with thanks to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that I am here, Macheda said.
He played a big part of …
Neymar is ready to sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, according to Le Parisien.
The Brazilian star s time in the French capital, which began with the still-holding world-record transfer from Barcelona in 2017, has been riddled with injuries and controversies, but most of all with speculations about his potential departure and return to Spain. Spanish media have particularly been adamant that Neymar was unhappy at the Parc des Princes and aware that he had made a mistake in leaving the Catalan club. They ve been foretelling his return to Camp Nou practically ever since, occasionally crediting Real Madrid with interest as well.
Their latest stories held to the theory that the hand of PSG, who are reluctant to let their arguably biggest star leave, would be weak…
According to a recent report from Sky sources, Manchester United have begun talks with Marcus Rashford regarding an extension of his current contract. The 21 year old has enjoyed quite the rise up through the ranks of English football, with many considering him to be United’s best striker. His current deal is set to expire in 2020, with the expectation being that the Red Devils would invoke a clause to extend that for another twelve months. Now, though, it seems like they want something that’ll last a little bit longer, and it’s not hard to see why.
The Englishman made his professional debut back in 2015, and since then he’s developed into a fan favourite at the club. Now, fans are excited to see what he can produce if he’s given the time to consistently appear in the…
Jupp Heynckes fourth stint as Bayern Munich head coach ended on a disappointing and controversial note as successor Niko Kovac led Eintracht Frankfurt to a 3-1 win in the DFB-Pokal final.
Veteran boss Heynckes won the treble before departing last time in 2013, but Kovac himself ensured that his Bayern reign will begin with the Bundesliga champions holding just one trophy his side aided by a questionable late refereeing call.
Ante Rebic netted early in the first half and then struck again on the counter-attack eight minutes from time, after Robert Lewandowski had drawn Bayern level and before the drama escalated in stoppage time.
Frankfurt had ridden their luck to reach the closing stages still in a position to win the game and then, having seen VAR rule in…
Lucas Torreira is very close to leaving Arsenal to join Fiorentina on a season-long loan, according to multiple sources, and the Serie A side would have the option of turning the deal permanent at the end of the campaign.
Torreira joined the Gunners in the summer of 2018 as one of the first signings of a new era, following the departure of Arsene Wenger and the appointment of Unai Emery. However, Emery s attempts at revitalizing the team didn t come off as well as he or the club may have hoped, and he was dismissed near the end of 2019 to be replaced soon by Mikel Arteta.
While Torreira may have featured in Emery s plans, Arteta hasn t had a place in his team for him and he was shipped out on loan to Atletico Madrid for 2020-21. He is now back at the club with a contrac…
