“I think he brings a lot to this club.”
Luiz left Chelsea after falling down the pecking order under new manager Frank Lampard.
The 32-year-old revealed the opportunity of regular football was the reason for the switch.
“I’m excited to play for this big club,” Luiz said.

“I grew up watching a lot of Arsenal games, especially the great players from the past, so I’m excited to try to help this club to do some big things.
“The cycle finished there (at Chelsea). It was a conversation between me and Chelsea and everybody.
“I had an opportunity to come to another big club. In my life, I’ve always liked to do some challenges. I’m not scared at all to try things.
“I think not too many players would make this kind of move, they would maybe be scared, or something like that.
“I’m just trying to do big things in my life, so like I said, my cycle at Chelsea finished and now I’m excited to start a new chapter of my life here.”
