Luiz talks about the new Arsenal under Arteta

Arsenal centre back David Luiz has hailed the impact of new boss Mikel Arteta at the club.

“The thing that impressed me the most was that the day he arrived, he brought the whole club together, not just the players,” the defender told ESPN Brasil on Wednesday.

“And I would like the club to walk together, with the same ideas, the same purpose, the same oxygen.

“Let everyone understand why we were there, who we were representing and the way we were supposed to do it.

“Since that first meeting, I saw, breathed and said now I understand why I am here. Since then, I have been enchanted by the form and conduct he had.”

Speaking about the time when Arteta contracted the dangerous CoVID-19, Luiz admitted it was a tough situation for the club.

“We were afraid. On the day he tested positive, we were sad, scared, we stuck at home,” he said.

“We quarantined before everyone else here in England because of that. It was a great warning for us to have someone so close [test positive].”
