Willian speaks out on Chelsea future after fresh Barcelona transfer links

https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/25/willian-speaks-chelsea-future-fresh-barcelona-transfer-links-10981642/

Willian has ruled out a return to Brazil in the summer, but was cagey over his Chelsea future amid fresh links to Barcelona. The attacker’s current deal expires at the end of the season and several top clubs in Europe, including Juventus and Barcelona, are keeping tabs on his situation, spotting a potential bargain. Brazilian giants Corinthians, where Willian began his career, are thought to be keen on bringing the 31-year-old home but he is intending to stay in Europe for the foreseeable future.

Whether or not that will be at Stamford Bridge remains unclear. Willian insists there is a ‘market’ for him to remain in Europe, amid interest from some of the continent’s top clubs, but he stopped short of staying he will stay in west London. He told Esporte Interativo: ‘Of course when you talk about Corinthians, the club that launched me, I have a great affection. But honestly, I don’t think about returning to Brazil.’

New 3-year contract extension coming!

One goal, one "assist" (his pressing was the one that caused Burnley turnover). Good at retaining the ball, press well. As long as he is healthy, pretty much a guaranteed starter.

Hard to argue with that. Frank really likes him.

Good for Lamp. In order for us to play both Puli and CHO in the same team we need better midfield first.

But what happens when we need to rest him? Who's going to play his role?

Kante - Jorginho - kova

In midfield and drop Mount.

Then CHO and Pulisic out wide?

Pretty much. I am glad that Pulisic had his hattrick but it mean you can't drop him.

Tammy
CHO - Mount - Puli

From start should be fun too watch though. We will lose even more control but it should be fun.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Willian will retain his place after his solid overall performance and his goal was well-taken. Their goalie dealt poorly with all those low shots tho.

this shows just how much quality we have. CHO came in as undisputed starter, then Pulisic starts performing again and he is out of the first XI.

Tammy has not been good. 

Hopefully we spend big on a striker. 

Would love mbappe but that's hard to pull off.

You can scratch mbappe from your list. 200m is the number for mbappe.

They paid almost that for him before he even won the WC. Probably the most expensive player in the world right now.

Kante is the only bargaining chip we have, but we need to stop kidding ourselves. Set that bar much lower.

He is second top scorer in league. He has a few odd games where he does not perform. It happens. Overall he has been a big plus for us. 1 goal away from double figures already. I agree on buying another striker but to supplement Tammy at this moment of time. If Tammy goes on a barren run for the next 20 games or so then yeah but right now, harsh to say we need a new starting striker.
