Regardless of his performances on a football pitch, David Luiz always seems to be a fan and dressing room favourite wherever he goes.
This is why it wasn’t too surprising to see many Chelsea fans pleased when his return was announced, just like it isn’t a shock to hear his former teammates lament his departure.
Speaking in an interview with Onze Mondial in France, Presnel Kimpembe explained how the former Benfica star’s exit from Paris Saint-Germain affected him.
He said: “His departure made me sad because David is someone who helped me a lot at this club. After that, of course, him leaving opened a few doors for me.”
The young defender then went on to explain how, even though Luiz leaving wasn’t what he wanted, the transfer could be a ‘blessing in disguise’ for him.
Since Luiz’s departure, Kimpembe has played a lot more regularly, making seven appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, which is only two fewer than the player managed under Laurent Blanc throughout the entirety of last season.
