Paris Saint Germain full-back Thomas Meunier has revealed his surprise following David Luiz's return to Chelsea.
Meunier moved to Paris from Club Brugge in July, signing a four-year deal, and never played alongside Luiz in a competitive league game as the Brazilian secured a deadline day switch back to Chelsea.

And Meunier has revealed the surprise extended across the channel.

"I wish him all the best."
