Here is your Chelsea morning digest on Wednesday, May 26.
Willian's admission gives Chelsea hint
According to Sky Sports, former Chelsea man Willian wants a return to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Brazilian winger has spent just one season at Arsenal after leaving the Blues last year, but is already wanting a move back to west London, the report claims.
His comments after leaving Chelsea may have given us a hint on this already.
He told UOL, as per Sport Witness: "It was difficult to make that decision, it wasn’t easy. Because, as you said, the rivalry between the two clubs is very big. It wasn’t an easy decision to leave Chelsea for Arsenal."
"Everyone knew the conditions, I really wanted to stay. We ended up not finding an agreement, I ended up asking for three years, Chelsea wanted to give two, and everyone knows this story. That’s why I ended up leaving."

Napoli want Zappacosta move
According to Sportitalia, Napoli are interested in signing Chelsea outcast Davide Zappacosta.
The Italian full-back is unlikely to continue with Genoa next season despite spending this term on loan with the Serie A outfit, the report claims.
Now, Napoli have joined the race for the 28-year-old's services - with his contract at Stamford Bridge due to expire next summer, meaning he could be available for a discount price in the upcoming transfer window.
Zappacosta has not played at all for the Blues since featuring in the 4-1 win over Arsenal back in May 2019.
