Chelsea 'offer Willian new deal'

Premier League leaders Chelsea are reportedly ready to offer a new contract to midfield star Willian.

The Brazilian has featured prominently under Jose Mourinho since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala in the summer of 2013.

According to The Mirror, the Blues are happy to consider a new deal for the 26-year-old, despite his current agreement still having three years left to run.

It is understood that positive discussions between the club and Willian's representatives are in progress and it is hoped that a contract can be agreed by the end of the season.

News of a possible deal follows reports that Chelsea are conducting talks with several players, including Eden Hazard, who is rumoured to have been offered a £200,000-a-week salary.
