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.
