As The Athletic report, Chelsea winger Willian will hit a major milestone if he gets an appearance against Norwich City today, one that only 11 players have previously achieved.
Willian polarises opinion among the Chelsea community, with some seeing him as a great servant and classy wide-man, with others being left wondering exactly what he contributes.
The Brazilian has never scaled the heights, or anything close, that Eden Hazard managed, but there’s no denying his influence throughout one of this club’s finest periods in its history.
The 31-year-old is now on the brink of making his 200th appearance in the Premier League for Chelsea, which as The Athletic report, puts him 12th in our all-time rankings.
They also note that, should Willian make 33 league appearances this term, he will surpass both Ashley Cole and Gianfranco Zola’s Premier League appearance tallies.
Now that is quite the stat. Let’s hope he’s able to make his 200th appearance a winning one.
