Some breaking news arriving this afternoon regarding newly departed Chelsea winger, Willian.
The Brazilian has just undergone his medical at Arsenal after becoming a free agent over the weekend.
This is according to The Evening Standard reporter, Jack Rosser, who tweeted the news just now.

Willian rejected Chelsea’s new contract offer because he wanted a 3-year contract and The Blues were only offering him a 2-year deal.
Arsenal have offered him a 3-year contract, and that, as well as his desire to stay living in London, looks like it is enough to see him join Chelsea’s close rivals, Arsenal this week.

The 32-year old spent 7 years at Chelsea and was involved in so much of the clubs success over this period. He will be missed by Blues fans, but the time does feel right for him to move on now.
Just like David Luiz did a year earlier, Willian jumps ship to the red side of London!
