Willian signs four-year extension with Chelsea

Chelsea have pulled off a major coup by seeing Willian commit to the club for a further four years.

The 27-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder has put pen to a new contract that will see him remain at Stamford Bridge until 2020.

Chelsea's reigning Player of the Year was delighted to extend his stay in West London as he looks ahead to winning more trophies with the Blues.

“I'm very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea," he told the club's official website.

“It's a dream to continue with this club and over the next four years I will try to help the team win more trophies.

“It's been an amazing time for me since I joined the club three years ago, I've won titles and last season I was named Chelsea Player of the Year.

“I hope to be able to stay at that level during the coming seasons and achieve more success."
