Willian signs new 4-year deal
Willian has signed a new 4-year deal at Chelsea, the club have confirmed.
Chelsea signed Willian from Shakhtar Donetsk on a 5-year contract in 2013, quickly establishing himself as a key figure at Stamford Bridge.

Willian made 49 appearances in 2014-2015 as Chelsea won a Premier League and League Cup double under Jose Mourinho.
However, a difficult campaign followed in which the club fell well short of mounting a serious defence of their title.
Willian's performances provided one of few positives in 2015-2016, and the Brazilian was voted the club's Player of the Year by team-mates and fans.
