Willian joined the Premier League and Chelsea from Russian Anzhi in August 2013.

Since then, there have been 234 matches in the dark blue jersey in the Premier League, where he has produced 37 goals and 39 assists.

The now 32-year-old midfielder has for some time been rumored to be on his way away from Frank Lampard's Chelsea and now the star himself confirms that he will not stay. It is on social media that Willian in a long post tells about the decision.

“It has been seven wonderful years. When I received a contract proposal from Chelsea in August 2013, I was completely convinced that this was where I would play. Today, I am convinced that it was a good decision. We have had so many great moments, also some sad ones. We have won titles and it has always been very intense ", writes Willian and continues:

"It is now time for me to move on. I will really miss all my teammates. I will miss everyone around the club who treated me like a son and I will miss the supporters. I leave with my head held high, knowing that I have won things here and that I always did my best in the Chelsea shirt. "

The British media have rumors that Willian will remain in London and that he will then exchange Chelsea's dark blue shirt for Arsenal's red.

It remains to be seen if "Gunners" will be the next destination for Willian Borges da Silva.
