Former Liverpool and Manchester United forward Paul Ince has claimed that Arsenal defender David Luiz is looking like an 'imposter' following his upturn in form.
The Brazil international moved to the Gunners from Chelsea last summer and initially struggled to impress under Unai Emery, as part of an Arsenal defence that was leaking goals.
However, Mikel Arteta's arrival has bolstered the defence and they have now kept three consecutive clean sheets in all competitions following Thursday night's win against Olympiacos.
Luiz has been a regular part of the defensive line during Arteta's reign and his upturn in form hasn't gone unnoticed, with Ince speaking about his rise.
"You look at David Luiz, he was terrible under Unai Emery. You look at him now and all of a sudden leadership he’s pulling people in saying well done, well done," he told the Mirror.
"He wasn’t doing that before, he looks like an impostor now. But this is what Arteta demands from him, if you are going to be in that central role you are going to have to show leadership.
"That’s what he’s doing. It’s not just the work they are doing on the pitch it’s what goes on off it too. When it all comes together you will see a proper Arsenal team."
