The Brazilian has been sometimes accused of inconsistency during his seven-year stay but he has been Chelsea's best attacker after Tammy Abraham in 2019-20.
Of even greater significance is the fact that the Brazilian star has more assists (6) than any of his team-mates and also ranks first for chances created. Being a senior Pro in the team. Willian has done well to cover for the void left by Hazard.
Willian may have bagged a double against West Ham on Wednesday, thus becoming the first player in Premier League history to net in every month of the year. He scored one more on Sunday against Watford thus scoring in three consecutive premier League games and making it 5 goals in 5 games.
Willian has certainly struggled for consistency at certain points during his Chelsea career but, this season, he has proven one of Lampard's most reliable performers.
The 31-year-old has also emerged as a hugely influential figure in a dressing room filled with young and inexperienced players.
Pedro set to leave and Callum Hudson-Odoi still not looking ready to take over position. Chelsea will need the winger for next season. Willian has been vocal about his desire to stay in London.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham are particularly keen on signing a player who is settled in London and presently enjoying one of the best campaigns of his career to date.
If Chelsea does not succeed in coming to a amicable agreement. Then Willian might end up with rival clubs Arsenal or Tottenham. Willian would be a perfect fit for Arsenal, and Mourinho would be happy to reunite with Willian again.
Willian might be nearing his 32nd birthday, but right now, he’s going as strong as ever, and that’s giving him confidence and belief that he can keep it going at the top level for a few years yet.
