Arsenal<\/a> will offer Chelsea<\/a> winger Willian a three-year contract in order to bring him to the Emirates for next season, according to David Ornstein.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, Orenstein also states that another unnamed club remains in the race<\/a> to sign the 31-year-old, which could affect Arsenal’s chances of bringing in the winger.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Set to Offer Willian Three-Year Deal<\/h2>\n

Arsenal Bound<\/h3>\n

Willian reportedly<\/a> received four offers recently, from Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona<\/a> and Inter Miami.<\/a><\/p>\n

But, the Brazilian has reportedly chosen two options, which include Arsenal and one other unnamed team.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old turned down a two-year contract offer from Chelsea, as reported by Fabrizio Romano<\/a> yesterday. He wants a three-year contract instead.<\/p>\n

Arsenal appear eager to sign the Brazilian winger and will include the additional year Willian wants on his contract to attract him the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta<\/a> and technical director Edu seem appealing to the Chelsea winger,\u00a0which could persuade him to sign for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Also working in Arsenal’s favour is the claim that Willian wants to stay in London. His agent, Kia Joorabchian claimed Willian received five offers<\/a> in total, but is keen to stay in the capital.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Facing Competition<\/h3>\n

Although Willian narrowed down his options from four offers to two, Arsenal may not secure the Brazilian’s signatures without competition.<\/p>\n

The unnamed club may also make a bid for the Brazilian which could cause problems for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea seems unlikely to continue negotiations. Frank Lampard<\/a> brought in new forwards Timo Werner<\/a> and Hakim Ziyech<\/a> recently in Willian’s position.<\/p>\n

However, Lampard wants to keep Willian at Stamford Bridge, but does not want to provide the third year which he is asking for.<\/p>\n

Willian played 47 times for Chelsea in all competitions this season. The Brazilian scored 11 goals and made nine assists.<\/p>\n

He joined the club in 2013 from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala for \u00a331.5 million and made over 300 appearances for the Blues.<\/p>\n
