Willian to leave Chelsea for a £100k-a-week deal

Chelsea star Willian has agreed a three-year deal with Arsenal. According to ESPN, the deal worth around £100,000-a-week. The move expected to be announced later this month. The 31-year-old has refused to sign a two-year contract extension with the Blues. Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard wanted the Brazilian to stay and has been pushing the club to find a breakthrough in negotiations. ESPN now claims, that Lampard has failed to persuade the Chelsea owners to make a new contract for Willian. Therefore, Mikel Arteta has stepped in to secure the midfielder, who won two league titles and the Europa League at Chelsea. Willian's agent Kia Joorabchian claimed last week his client had five clubs interested in signing him. Source: ESPN
