“We thank David for his service and wish him well in his future career,” Chelsea said in a statement on their official website.
Luiz, 32, joins the Gunners following Arsenal’s £25m deadline day purchase of Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, 22.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery said Luiz brings “huge experience” and “adds to our defensive strength”.
Luiz takes Emery’s summer spending over £130m after deals for Nicolas Pepe, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli.
