Chelsea star Willian will hold formal talks with Arsenal over a free transfer next week, according to reports.
The Brazilian looks increasingly likely to leave Stamford Bridge after turning down Chelsea's latest offer of a new contract. Willian wants a three-year deal but the Blues are only offering terms until 2022.
That has boosted the chances of Arsenal landing the 31-year-old and now, according to The Telegraph, the Gunners are preparing to pitch a three-year deal to the Brazilian as early as next week.
Willian missed Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat by Arsenal last weekend, which saw Mikel Arteta's side secure a place in next season's Europa League.
Willian, who joined Chelsea in 2013, will delay confirming a decision on his future until after the second leg of Chelsea's Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
Chelsea start 3-0 down following the first leg back in February.

Willians time is up, our overhaul starts with him. Great servant to the club but was always kept as a tactical player for defensive systems hence why his defensive workrate is so incredible. Now that we play attacking football he breaks down so many plays it's frustrating to watch. This season was Willians limit and personally I think we can do better. I respect all he has done for the club and wish him the best as long as he doesn't go to Tottenham. 2 years alone was a stretch 3 years extra is just overkill we arent desperate. I'd sign Benrahma of Brentford as his replacement hopefully we get him hes like Mahrez and Neymar in 1 player. His final 3rd production is great too. It's time we move on from Willian hes demanding way too much for what he offers. Wish him the best.

Willian has refused to stay at Chelsea. So,let's allow him to leave. This never ending uncertainty about him wanting to leave because of his 3 years that he wants,whilst Chelsea, who made him what he is today, is offering him 2 year and he still refuses to stay,must be settled once and for all,forthwith. Bon Voyage, Willian,Fare de well,good old friend, Much appreciated all your good works for the Bluuueees,the past years. Now Chelsea, sign Benrahma, Harvetz,Rice,Reguilon,Tagliafigo and DANNY INGS,from Southhampton,to maintain that bullying factor in the box,as our Giroud is nearly over the hill,now,
