No Disappointment if Willian Leaves Chelsea: Frank Lampard ahead of Champions League Match

News 18  

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said he is unsure if Brazilian winger Willian will remain at the English Premier League team next season but expects no bitterness from both parties if he does depart. British media has reported that Willian is on the verge of joining Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal on a three-year deal after his current employers only offered him a two-year extension which left him disappointed. The 31-year-old Willian’s contract expires at the end of Chelsea’s Champions League campaign. He’ll feel like that about Chelsea… But I don’t want anyone to try and find a negative attitude, because the club have acted very well in this as well.” Willian has scored 63 goals and provided 62 assists in 339 appearances for Chelsea since his arrival from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013.
