Willian has agreed a three-year contract at Arsenal worth around £100,000-a-week, with the move expected to be announced later this month, according to reports.

The 31-year-old had been in talks over a new contract at Chelsea but will end his seven-year association with the club after they were not prepared to offer him the terms he wanted.

Blues head coach Frank Lampard wanted Willian to stay and has been pushing the club to find a breakthrough in negotiations, which have been deadlocked for months.

However, Lampard has failed to persuade the Chelsea hierarchy to sort a new contract for Willian and Mikel Arteta has stepped in to secure the midfielder, who won two league titles and the Europa League at Chelsea, according to ESPN.

Willian’s agent Kia Joorabchian claimed last week his client had five clubs interested in signing him, including two in the Premier League.


Arsenal’s FA Cup final victory over Chelsea last weekend — which Willian missed due to an Achilles injury — means they can at least offer Europa League football next season.

Arteta is set for a busy summer as he looks to shape his squad and Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes is also in his sights. The 22-year-old is also keen on a move to Arsenal, though Everton and Napoli are interested too. The player will make a decision on his future at the weekend.

And Oliver G. ?

we give arsenal our bad players and take there good players.

good move, seems arsenal is now the dumping site for European clubs jus like ac milan did years back..
some would say the move is needed to blend experience in the team but i think the gunners i once knew fancy the young talent than the old wine..
pls gunners should be fast to complete the deal for coutinho, you can also take dembele too and swap both players with jus aubameyang....
