Cut-price Luiz deal

- JOHN CROSS

ARSENAL are ready to offer David Luiz a one-year contract extension but on reduced terms.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is keen to keep the centre-half, 33, whose deal expires on June 30.

Luiz’s agent Kia Joorabchia­n has said there is a “very high chance” the Brazilian will stay after talks on a new contract.

Luiz joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer for £8million on £130,000 a week for one year, with a 12-month option.

But the current financial deal could mean he is offered a contract based more on appearance­s and other incentives.

All sides are keen to reach a compromise.
