Willian has assured Chelsea fans of his commitment.

The midfielder is now five years a Chelsea player and was well aware of exit talk over the summer.

He told chelseafc.com: "A lot of people they say a lot of things in the press, but I never said that I want to leave Chelsea, never.

"Always I say that I want to stay at Chelsea as long as possible, and I am happy to stay here."

He added: "I am 30 years old and I arrive in the best moment of my career, so I just want to continue in the same way, to play the same or better than last season."
