Willian closes in on Arsenal deal

Arsenal is the most likely destination for will if he fails to agree a new contract with chelsea.

Arsenal moved into pole position to sign the brazil international,whose chelsea deal expires later this month offering a threevm year contract earlier this week,and are on the verge of beating off competition from Barcelona and inter milan .

Despite wanting willian ,who turns 32 on Sunday,to extend his stay at stamford brigde chelsea have refused to offer more than a further two year and the chances him being a chelsea player when the saw season begins in five weeks look remote.

Willian made 47 appearance for chelsea in all competitions finished the season in fine form,with four premier league goals after the restart taking his tally for the season to nine.

At the moment,it looks like arsenal is his most likely destination but he is a tree agent and at his age, realistically, you're likely to go where there is the most money and longest contract on offer.
