David Luiz

David Luiz is one of football's most watchable defenders, and not only for the hair. A Brazilian centre-back with a genuine specialty in free kicks is already a delightful contradiction, and his presence reshapes a back line the moment he steps on. I love that he plays with visible joy and risk; the occasional lapse is the price of a player who refuses to be cautious. From Chelsea to Paris to still competing in Cyprus, his longevity speaks to real hunger. Rated among the best of his generation, he proves that charisma and craft can share the same body. Pure footballing personality.
