Chelsea agree deal for Luiz

Benfica defender David Luiz has joined Fernando Torres in making a big-money deadline-day move to Chelsea.

Luiz and Torres both beat the 11pm cut-off to join the Barclays Premier League champions, who splashed out an incredible £75m on the pair.
Striker Torres arrived for a reported £50m from Liverpool, smashing the transfer record between British clubs, while Benfica finally allowed defender Luiz to move on in a £25m-plus deal.

Particular Benefit

A Chelsea announcement on Luiz is expected after Benfica released a statement confirming they had accepted a player-plus-cash deal that would see the Blues pay £21.4m and young midfielder Nemanja Matic join the Portuguese champions as a makeweight.
The deal had looked dead on Friday but Chelsea managed to resurrect it, making Luiz one of the most expensive defenders ever to move to the UK.
Luiz's versatility will be of particular benefit, with the Brazil international able to play across the back four.
