The third highest shirt seller in the Chelsea squad may surprise you

You may have thought that Willian was one of the least popular Chelsea players, at least it appears that way on social media, but The Athletic have provided information to the contrary.

Willian has been at Chelsea since the summer of 2013 and is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance for the club, should he be involved against Norwich City today.

He has evidently gained quite the following during his six years at the club, with The Athletic reporting that he is the third highest shirt seller in the Chelsea squad right now.

That goes some way to showing how fond Chelsea supporters around the world are of the Brazilian, even if he is scapegoated on a weekly basis by fans across social media.

In the absence of Eden Hazard, this is the time for Willian to step up and prove all of his doubters wrong. He can begin on his voyage to achieving that this afternoon…
