Chelsea defender David Luiz has signed a new five-year deal with the European champions.

The Brazil international's contract was signed after Saturday's 1-0 victory over Stoke despite having almost four years remaining on his existing deal.

The 25-year-old Luiz joined Chelsea from Benfica in January 2011, and says ''I look forward to winning more trophies here.''
