Arsenal is close to completing the signing of midfielder Willian from Chelsea on a three-year deal.
Arsenal moved into pole position to sign the Brazil international, whose Chelsea deal expires later this month.
The Gunners has reportedly submitted a three-year contract earlier this week, and are on the verge of beating off competition from Spanish giants Barcelona and Inter Miami.
Along with the length of the deal, joining Mikel Arteta’s rejuvenated side and the chance to work with fellow Brazilian Edu are the reasons Arsenal are favourites to secure Willian’s signature.
Willian made 47 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions and finished the season in fine form, with four Premier League goals after the restart taking his tally for the season to nine.
