The 25-year-old is in his second season at Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

Goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has told Rangers TV that David Luiz boasts the most powerful shot that he has come up against.

The 25-year-old faced the Brazilian defender – during his first spell with Chelsea – in a League Cup tie for Swindon Town three years ago.

And the Rangers stopper has joked that saving a free kick from Luiz also sent him into the net.

He told Rangers TV: “We played Chelsea in the cup when I was at Swindon and I saved a David Luiz free kick. It nearly put me in the goal. So I go David Luiz.”

Foderingham has been training with Niko Kranjcar since the summer, and the Croatian playmaker can certainly strike a ball with venom, too.

What isn’t a laughing matter, however, is Rangers’ form. Mark Warburton’s side drew 0-0 at home to Ross County on Saturday, a week after being destroyed by Old Firm rivals Celtic at Parkhead.

It has been a testing return to the big time for the Gers, who have won two of their six Premiership games thus far – and even they were narrow 2-1 victories over Dundee and Motherwell respectively.
