Fernandes bids farewell to Sporting Kansas City

Centre-back David Luiz has not held any recent contract talks with Arsenal, journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisWheatley_/status/1361437454247550982" target="_blank"><em>Chris Wheatley</em>&nbsp;reports</a>, and the chances of him eventually re-signing with the club therefore remain uncertain even as <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal/david-luiz-contract-news-mikel-arteta-b1802204.html" target="_blank">other outlets</a> suggest the Gunners want to keep him.
