Arsenal leading the race to sign Chelsea forward Willian – ESPN Brasil reporter

ESPN Brasil reporter Jorge Nicola has said that Arsenal have the slight advantage in the race to sign Chelsea forward Willian on a free transfer at the end of the season.

The Brazil international is currently in his seventh campaign with the Blues and he has been a solid performer with 59 goals and 59 assists from 321 appearances across all competitions.

Still, he appears likely to head through the exit door when his contract expires this summer, given the west London side have been reluctant to meet his demands for a three-year deal.
