Chelsea star Willian has reportedly agreed a three-year contract worth £100,000-per-week with Arsenal.
The 31-year-old was locked in talks over fresh terms to remain at Stamford Bridge, but has chosen to move on after the club refused to offer him the long-term deal he had demanded.
Frank Lampard was keen to retain Willian and extend his seven-year spell, but Arsenal have stepped in to seal the deal on a free transfer.
The news comes just a day after Arsenal announced 55 members of staff would be made redundant.
