Arsenal have made a formal three-year contract offer to Willian, edging them to the front of the race to sign the Brazilian forward.
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.
Though the Gunners have made a formal three-year contract offer to Willian, they are still some way short of the terms offered by Barcelona and Inter Miami.
Despite wanting the 31-year-old to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have refused to offer more than two years and the chances of him being a Chelsea player when the new season begins in five weeks now look remote.
Willian made 47 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions and finished the season in fine form with four Premier League goals after the restart.
