Former Chelsea and Arsenal cult hero announces shock move to Cypriot champions after leaving Brazilian side
The champions of Cyprus have announced the surprise signing of a Premier League cult hero. The 38-year-old is best remembered for his time at Chelsea but also went on to spend two seasons with their London rivals Arsenal. David Luiz spent nine seasons in the Premier League in total before leaving for his native Brazil in 2021. He spent the second half of last season with Fortaleza but became a free agent on August 1, leaving the club by mutual consent. And his next move has been confirmed just days later with Pafos confirming that he has joined them on a two-year deal. A club statement read: 'Pafos FC is proud to announce the signing of Brazilian football icon David Luiz, who joins the club on a contract until 2027. This landmark transfer marks the most historic moment in Cypriot football — the arrival of a global superstar whose name has echoed in the world's greatest stadiums. 'From the sacred pitches of Brazil to the brightest stages of Europe, David Luiz's career is a journey of passion, character, and excellence. 'David Luiz Moreira Marinho is a true titan of modern football. For over 15 years, he has competed at the pinnacle of the sport, earning admiration around the globe for his commanding presence, technical brilliance, and unmistakable charisma. Throughout his illustrious career, he has left a lasting legacy at every club he has represented. 'And now, he brings his unmatched experience, charisma, and warrior spirit to the land of myths, to write a new chapter with Pafos FC. Luiz re-joined boyhood club Flamengo in 2021 after his contract at Arsenal expired - and he went on to enjoy success in South America. He made 132 matches for the side in his second spell and helped them win the Copa Libertadores, the Copa do Brasil twice and the Campeonato Carioca. At club level, Luiz has a CV to envy with a host of trophy wins to boast - including the Champions League, the Europa League, the Premier League title and the FA Cup - plus a clean sweep of silverware in France. He made his name with Chelsea - signing from Benfica in 2010 - and going on to make 143 appearances, before joining PSG for two seasons.

Micah Richards urges Mikel Arteta to replace £50m Arsenal star
Micah Richards has given his verdict on marquee Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres and urged Mikel Arteta to replace Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal have put their faith in Gyokeres to solve their goalscoring problems, signing the Sweden international from Sporting for £64m. Gyokeres enjoyed two sensational seasons at Sporting, scoring 97 goals in 104 appearances, and rejected Manchester United and his former manager Ruben Amorim in favour of a move to Arsenal. Richards believes Gyokeres will be a 'very good signing' for Arsenal, although he admits there are still some 'question marks' over the 27-year-old forward. Arsenal have turned their attentions to signing a new left-winger since completing a deal for Gyokeres and Richards supports that move, claiming Martinelli should now be viewed as an 'impact player' rather than a starter in Arteta's squad. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. The Gunners are interested in signing England forward Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace and Richards insists that would be an 'amazing' signing. The arrival of another forward and particularly a left-winger would increase the chances of Martinelli – and Leandro Trossard – of leaving after both players have been heavily linked with a summer move earlier on the window. Asked about Arsenal's transfer business on The Rest Is Football podcast, ex-England defender Richards said: 'How many times have we said Arsenal need a new striker? We said it every week last season. 'They've needed one for a while now. I still believe they need a left winger as well… they've been linked with Eze haven't they. 'I think Martinelli can definitely do a job but he's more of an impact player right now, great to have off the bench, so if they could get Eze that would be amazing. 'In terms of Gyokeres, I think it's a very good signing but I still think there are question marks if he can do it at this level consistently. 'I've watched loads of videos of him and I think he's really good with his movement, he's a really clever striker. 'I don't think people should expect him to hold the ball up really well because I saw some times when it came off him but he still scored two goals in the match so he got lots of praise. 'He will cause teams problems though and he's exactly what Arsenal needed, for sure.' More Trending Martinelli, who made 51 appearances for Arsenal last season, was linked with Bayern Munich earlier in the summer but the Bundesliga champions have since signed Luis Diaz from Liverpool. Arteta is reportedly keen for Martinelli to stay put despite the increased competition at the Emirates Stadium. If he is sold, Arsenal would want at least £50m for the Brazil international. While Martinelli could yet feature for Arsenal next season, Belgium star Trossard is 'increasingly likely' to leave. The £27m Arteta signing has emerged as a target for Borussia Dortmund and has also received 'concrete offers' from two unnamed Premier League clubs. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

RL great Micky Higham vows to tackle living with cancer a second time head on
MICKY Higham sat down with his two sons and spelled it out after receiving the news he dreaded – this time will be different. For years, the hooker rolled the blows in a career that saw him play for Leigh, Wigan, Warrington and St Helens. 4 He toughed it out against the very best for England and Great Britain. This battle, though, is off the field. Noticing a lump on his right buttock turned out to be something much more serious - a 10cm cancerous tumour, with tests finding the disease had spread and the devastating diagnosis of stage four widespread metastasized cancer. And the pain caused this time around is far more significant after it returned, three years after fighting off a metastatic malignant melanoma. 'Originally, I just kept it really low key,' said Higham, who has started immunotherapy treatment. 'I said, 'Lads, I've just found another lump. I'll have to get it sorted next time.' 'Harry, my eldest, is 21 in January and they're not stupid. He got wind. 'So I sat them down last Sunday and said, 'Listen, it's going to be a bit worse this time fellas. I just need to give your mum some help around the house.' 'I'm not missing them playing rugby, Harry at Swinton and Alex for Leigh Miners Rangers. I'm not missing that as they're a big reason why I keep fighting and going. 'I found a small lump on my right bum cheek. I had an issue with my toe too and thought, 'It's a bit sore. I might just have a bit of a knock.' 'So I left it a week or two, then I thought, 'The pain's a bit more.' It went down my leg a bit, so I felt the lump again and thought, 'It doesn't feel like a knock. That feels really hard.' 'I told my doctor and he said, 'Let's get it checked in after the last time.' It was a cancerous tumour on my right glute, then I had some more scans. 'A PET scan really showed up the melanoma. It's come to the shoulders, it's in my arms, my hips. It's come to my legs. 'It's in my chest, my groins and in my lymph nodes. It was a pretty widespread and stage four, so it was a real kick in the teeth. 4 'I'm quite shocked how quick the pain's come on. Each week, you're like, 'Wow, it's coming on more there.' 'This one's a tougher battle, but I'm ready to attack it. I've never had anything given to me in life and I've always had to work hard for things. 'I may be struggling a bit but I'm ready for it.' Higham, 44, is keeping up the traits that saw him through his last cancer battle – his relaxation and his determination. The pain means he has had to step back from the gym he owns and radio punditry duties for the time being - but if you think he is sat at home moping, think again. He has already sorted the first event as he looks to raise funds – with a target of £50,000 just beaten after £25,000 then £40,000 was met. A bucket collection was held outside and inside the ground at Friday's match between two of his former clubs - the Leopards and Wolves - while Leigh owner Derek Beaumont has launched a special fundraising shirt. 4 Higham will also walk from his hometown of Leigh to the Monton area of Salford on Sunday, August 24 and typically, the thought of doing it for others is at the forefront of his mind. 'I want to give something back to the Christie and Macmillan because for the last three years they've been fantastic,' Higham added. 'My pain was quite severe last week but they just said, 'Come in, we'll check you out. We'll change your medication and provide some relief, literally within days. 'I can't really put into words the work they do. I'm not one for shouting but sometimes you've got to get on board, don't you?' Higham's condition and treatment under Manchester's Christie Hospital means he can see the toll it is taking on wife Kate. After the last cancer fight, it is something he did nit want to see again – but just like him, she is doing her bit as he looks to get on a European drug trial after being turned down for a UK one. 4 He told SunSport: 'I obviously had a big setback with that. To get on a clinical trial, I had to have my blood done. 'All the enzymes have got to be pretty level with everybody and mine are a lot higher than everybody else. I was told it could be down to being a sportsperson over the years. 'To give myself the best chance of getting it down, I did Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and didn't move off the couch. 'Unfortunately, it was still too high but even though Kate's doing it tougher than me, she and her friend have been having a good look around and there is something. 'Because I've got my immuno now, every three weeks for the next four months, it's 12 weeks and they'll re-scan me. 'The immuno might do the job but if not, we might look at the option if there's something available there.'
