Manchester United transfer news: Willian addresses rumours he could quit Chelsea this summer

Chelsea forward Willian has played down talk of a move away from the club amidst interest from Manchester United and Barcelona.

The Brazilian has found himself the subject of plenty of speculation this summer, after an impressive World Cup with Brazil.

But the 29-year-old has insisted that he is happy at Stamford Bridge, despite all of the rumours.

Speaking to Globo Esporte in Brazil, he said: “I am very happy at Chelsea and I am very happy living in London.”

Last week new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri insisted Willian was part of his plans for the coming season, along with Belgian duo Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois.

“It depends on the club so we have to wait but I am confident,” Sarri said.

“It is a pleasure to have Courtois, to have Willian, to have Hazard.”
