David Luiz has agreed a one-year extension in his current deal with Chelsea, according to reports in Brazil.

The 31-year-old's current £120,000-a-week deal expires in June and the Brazil international is free to speak to non-English clubs about a move in the summer.

However the Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica defender has always maintained he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge.

According to Goal, Luiz agents had a meeting with Chelsea who usually offer players over the age of 30 a one-year extensions.

The Brazilian is one of Maurizio Sarri's favourite players having recalled him to his starting line up in place of Andreas Christensen.

Luiz has now played more than half of the games he featured for the Blues than he did under former boss Antonio Conte last term.

It is understood that negotiation for Liuz's new deal has been deadlocked due to the player's representative Kia Joorabchian giving his own financial terms to Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.

However, Joorabchian has said that the club are working together to keep Luiz at the West London side.

He told SunSport recently: "Contrary to some reports we are in a very amicable situation with Chelsea.

"We are trying to work out a deal for David Luiz because he wants to stay, the manager wants him to stay and so does the club.

"I'm sure something will be worked out."

According to a UK Metro report, Luiz’s current deal at west London expires at the end of the current campaign and Chelsea are not keen offering the 30-year-old Luiz more than 12-month extension, as it is the club’s policy.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
