The report has been backed up by a number of high profile sources..
Been told that there is truth in #Luiz wanting out of #cfc. Apparently he is worried about number of games he will get under #Lampard, especially not starting last friendly on Saturday. #afc

David Luiz didn't show up for training and it is widely believed to be down to Arsenal's interest in signing him. Did you think transfer ban Chelsea was going to stay out of the headlines on #DeadlineDay? #CFC

As per @lequipe, sources have confirmed to @TheAthleticUK that David Luiz didn’t train at Cobham today with Arsenal believed to be interested in signing him.
Such a bizarre turn of events after he got Chelsea to give him a two-year deal in May #cfc

– Arsenal are interested

Luiz has only recently signed a new 2-year contract with Chelsea, so as you’d imagine, this news has been greeted by shock amongst the footballing world.
Simon Johnson claims that Luiz is concerned about the amount of game time he will get under Frank Lampard, whilst Matt Law believes there has been a number of fall outs this week.
Law also reports via The Telegraph that Chelsea WILL consider selling Luiz to Arsenal.
The transfer window shuts in England tomorrow at 5pm, so if Luiz is to push through an exit at Stamford Bridge, all parties will need to work fast.
Chelsea play Manchester United in just three days time, and this will be the last thing they will need.
We all expected a perfectly quiet transfer window at Chelsea had been banned, all of a sudden it’s blown up!
