Reports: Chelsea keen to seal agreement with Willian over a new deal
Premier League champions Chelsea are keen to seal an agreement with Willian over a new deal, as per ESPN.
Chelsea’s early season form has been nothing short of catastrophic with the defending champions currently 16th in the table and 13 points off the top four.
Willian has created 20 chances in the Premier League this season.
Willian has been the solitary bright spark for Chelsea so far this season, he’s their top scorer in all competitions with five goals and he has worked hard for his place following the arrival of Pedro.

The report from ESPN says that Chelsea are aware of interest from Bayern Munich and PSG and with Willian’s contract set to expire in 2018 they want him to sign a new deal.
The playmaker scored the winner against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League, but the 1-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday was one of his poorest performances of the season.
He often gave the ball away with a poor pass or touch and his free-kicks were weak too. Nevertheless, that shouldn’t detract just how good he has been this season and the key for the Brazilian will be to keep this form going for the entire campaign.
Willian has won 20 take-ons in the Premier League this season.
