Real Madrid ponder shock move for Chelsea defender

 

Real Madrid are weighing up a shock January move for Chelsea defender David Luiz, reports The Daily Telegraph.

 

Luiz has fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte in recent weeks and dropped below Andreas Christensen in the pecking order.

 

The Brazil international has now been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge for the second time in his career, with Madrid pondering a surprise move for the defender.

Chelsea only re-signed Luiz 15 months ago and he was instrumental in their title-winning campaign last term, but his long-term future is already in doubt after featuring just once in their last four matches across all competitions.

 

Since the start of last season, only Chelsea team-mate Marcos Alonso (67) has fired off more shots on goal than Luiz (41) of all defenders in the Premier League.
