Chelsea have made a breakthrough in contract talks with Willian and are now hopeful of agreeing a new deal with the Brazilian, according to reports.
The 31-year-old was due to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer amid a stand-off over his demands, with the Brazil international holding out for a three-year deal, while Chelsea have reportedly only offered a two-year extension.
But Sky Sports report that despite offers from a host of clubs, a breakthrough has been achieved over a new contract for the Brazilian forward.
Frank Lampard has remained keen to keep him during the stand-off and has reportedly been hopeful of agreeing a new deal with Willian, which now appears to have moved a step closer.
