The Premier League season is totally up in the air now, with nobody certain how things will be concluded.
The current priority seems to be to get things finished, by hook or by crook, and that may mean playing after players’ contracts expire.
There have been suggestions in recent days that this could cause issues, with some out of contract stars not willing to extend their existing deals further.
But on the Chelsea front, one player in such a position has come out to declare he’s ready to agree to play on.
Willian, one of Chelsea’s major front three all with expiring deals, has come out and declared in quotes carried by the metro that he “want to give everything to Chelsea… until the end of my contract, until the end of the league.”
“From my side I have no problem to play until the end of the season,” he went on to assure fans.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to organise from Chelsea’s perspective. They have the money to pay, and they stand to gain a huge amount from having him available. Just let the deal done and secure the strongest possible squad to play out these final 9 games, it that’s what it takes.
