Willian writes farewell letter to Chelsea fans ahead of suspected Arsenal move

Willian Willian

Brazillian star, Willian, has written an emotional farewell letter to Chelsea fans ahead of his expected mover to rivals, Arsenal.

The 32-year-old who joined Chelseas from Anzhi Makhachkalain 2013 and spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge, was unable to agree a contract extension with Frank Lampard's side.

He told fans: "The time has come to move on. I am certainly going to miss my teammates.

"I will miss all the staff at the club who've always treated me like a son and I will miss the fans.

"I leave with my head held high, safe in the knowledge that I won things here and always did my best in a Chelsea shirt!"

The winger who is set to join Arsenal has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Gunners having been at loggerheads with the Chelsea hierarchy as his time as a blue came to an end.

He would have stayed at the Stamford Bridge if the Blues had offered him a three year deal in stead of two.
