The Brazilian defender has been out with a knee injury and is plotting a first-team comeback at the start of next month of january 2018 after six weeks out.
His comeback will put Arsenal on alert for a stunning move to try to prise the centre half across London to one of his club’s main rivals at a crucial stage of the season.
Luiz is focused on getting fit amid rumours of a long term fall out with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte over a tactical row.
But SunSport can reveal that frosty relations between the two have thawed out – even if only temporarily - with Conte desperate to have Luiz back in contention for a first team return.
Luiz has not played since a Champions League victory over minnows FC Qarabag in November but is targeting Chelsea’s FA Cup third round clash at Norwich on January 6 for his return.
