Frank Lampard has his say on Willian’s potential switch to Arsenal

As reported by Sky Sports, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has insisted that he will have no hard feelings if winger Willian ends up joining arch-rivals Arsenal this summer.

The Brazilian is demanding three years on the deal, while Chelsea are willing to offer only two. With the situation not resolving itself, Arsenal have emerged as the favourites to snap up the veteran star on a free transfer. (h/t ESPN)

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the Brazilian international will stand to earn £100,000-a-week at the Emirates should he complete the move.

Lampard, ahead of the potential switch, has insisted that the club tried everything possible in order to convince Willian to stay put. The manager further claimed that there will be no disappointment should the Brazilian leave the club in the coming days. (h/t Sky Sports)

“In terms of being disappointed, certainly as a club I think we have done everything we can to explain to Willian, and mine and his relationship is really close. I would have no feeling of disappointment if he does move on.”
