Willian to decide future after Arsenal v Chelsea FA Cup final, says agent Kia Joorabchian


The future of Chelsea winger Willian, who has been strongly linked with a free transfer move to Arsenal, will be decided after Sunday's FA Cup final against the same opponents, according to his agent.

The 31-year-old, who has scored 63 goals in 339 appearances for the Blues, has been unable to agree a new contract at Stamford Bridge, with the club balking at his request for a three-year deal because of his age.

He has been previously been tipped to join both Liverpool and Manchester United, but the Guardian claims Chelsea are now braced for him to move to north London.

The Brazilian's agent, however, has claimed that a decision is yet to be made.

"He has two concrete offers from Premier League clubs on the table, an offer from a Major League Soccer club and two other offers from Europe," Joorabchin told TalkSPORT.

"He is going to make his decision after the last game of the season."

Willian agreed a short-term extension with the Blues to see them through to the end of the domestic campaign, but it does not cover their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayern Munich in August.

Therefore the final match of his deal is a Wembley showpiece against his potential new employers.

Should he help Chelsea win on Sunday it will be his sixth major trophy since joining the club from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013, adding to two Premier League titles, the Europa League title, an FA Cup and EFL Cup.
