David Luiz made Arsenal concede a penalty and was also red carded in the tough Premier League tie which ended 3-0 in favor of Manchester City.

According to the report on UK Sun, Arsenal are left without no choice than giving David Luiz a new deal considering their players who are currently injured.

“We have no choice. We have to do it because of all the injuries we’ve had. It’s very complicated with the timing of it and some of the legal issues that are involved. We’re trying to resolve this and I’m confident I can keep them all,” Mikel Arteta explained according to UK Sun.

Arsenal have also confirmed the latest on their website as their fight to finish among the top four continues.

Luiz joined Arsenal from Chelsea on a 12-month deal which is set to expire next week, but he has nothing to worry about as the Gunners’ chiefs now want him to stay.
