David
Luiz says Diego Costa would be welcome at Paris Saint-Germain should
the Chelsea striker ever want to leave England, and has praised the
confrontational Brazilian as "a good friend" off the field.
"Diego
is one of the most clinical strikers in Europe, he would be a welcome
addition to any team," Luiz said on Monday. "I think PSG have made their
intent clear over the last three or four seasons, that we only add the
best players.
"If Diego decides he has had enough of England and wants a new challenge, of course he would be welcome here."
Luiz
and Costa clashed a number of times in their clubs' Champions League
last-16 second-leg tie last March -- a game in which Luiz scored.
However the affable defender says the former Atletico Madrid man has two
sides.
"Diego and myself have had our clashes on the field, but you must understand there are two Diegos.
"On the field he is physical, he is confrontational, he will get in your face, that is part of his game.
"Off the field he is a good friend, one of the nicest guys you can meet, somebody I would go to dinner with."
PSG and Chelsea will face each other in the Champions League round of 16 again next month. Luiz warns the Blues, despite their poor league standing, are not to be underestimated.
Luiz
added: "We have two very big games coming up against Chelsea. With them
having such a poor season in the league they will be even more
motivated to do well in Europe. I welcome two big battles with Diego. I
am sure they will be physical, but both games will end in a hug
