Willian Close to Signing New 2-Year Contract With Chelsea Ahead of Summer Transfer Ban

Chelsea winger Willian is close to agreeing to a new two-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazil international, who featured in their opening match against Bolivia at the Copa América, was set to enter the final year of his contract in west London next season.

But following confirmation that the club will have to serve a two-window transfer ban, Chelsea are now looking to extend some players' contracts to offer a little extra security over their respective futures.

SunSport claims that Willian is one name on Chelsea's list, with it being added that the 30-year-old has already agreed on personal terms with the club, and formalities now have to be gone through before he can officially put pen to paper.
