Chelsea 'resigned to losing Willian on a free transfer'

Reporter Kaveh Solhekol claims that Chelsea accept that Willian will be leaving the club on a free transfer this summer.

Chelsea have "moved on" from experienced attacker Willian and are currently looking at replacements for the Brazil international ahead of this summer, according to reporter Kaveh Solhekol.

The 31-year-old's existing deal at Stamford Bridge will expire this summer, and a number of clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, have been linked with his services.

Solhekol has claimed that Frank Lampard's side have now accepted that the South American will be leaving the club on a free transfer ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

"As far as Chelsea are concerned, it's fair to say they've moved on [from Willian]," Solhekol told Sky Sports News. "They've signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, he will be joining in the summer.

"They are looking for other wide players though because Pedro's contract is up as well. There's been more interest in signing someone like Kai Havertz, who is at Bayer Leverkusen, and even at Timo Werner of RB Leipzig.

"He would be a dream signing along with somebody like Jason Sancho. As far as Willian is concerned, almost certainly he will be leaving Chelsea and he has quite a few options in front of him."

Willian has scored seven times and registered six assists in 37 appearances for Chelsea this term.
