Chelsea are on the brink of re-signing former defender David Luiz, reports suggest.

The club are believed to have agreed a £32m transfer fee with Paris Saint-Germain for the player who is expected to return to Stamford Bridge after two years in the French capital.

Luiz will allegedly undergo his medical after Wedesday's 11pm deadline but the player has already accepted the personal terms of his new deal, according to the Mail.

The Blues sold Luiz to PSG for £50m in 2014 but the defender has reportedly become unsettled in France.

Despite Chelsea's lack of European football, the player allegedly favours a move back to west London where he believes he'll be able to help the club return to Europe.

The 29-year-old cemented himself as a firm fan favourite at Chelsea after helping the club to glory in the Champions League in Munich 2012. He also won the FA Cup as well as the Europa League during his spell with the Blues.

It's understood that Antonio Conte's intervention made the difference on Wednesday lunch as he sought to force through negotiations.

The Italian turned to the player after struggling to land a number of defensive targets throughout the summer, including Kalidou Koulibaly and Alessandro Romagnoli.

However, the club are still engaged in talks with Aymen Abdennour over a potential loan deal suggesting Luiz's move could yet still fall through.
