Willian reopens issues surrounding his Chelsea exit

Arsenal midfielder Willian has been discussing his departure from Chelsea last summer.

The Brazilian, 32, has struggled for form since his move to the Emirates, with just three assists and no goals in the Premier League so far this season.

Willian said: “I didn’t leave the club with a fight, I left the doors open.

“Everyone knew the conditions, I really wanted to stay.

“We ended up not finding an agreement, I ended up asking for three years, Chelsea wanted to give two, and everyone knows this story.

“That’s why I ended up leaving.”
