Despite winning Chelsea's Player of the Year award
last season, the Brazilian has struggled to make an
impact during Antonio Conte's reign.
He has featured just 10 times this season and
hasn't started a league game since their 2-0 win
over Hull at the beginning of last month.
Shortly after that Willian endured a difficult time with
the passing of his mother, and since then he's
found it hard to fit into Conte's 3-4-3 system.

With only two goals to his name, and Marcos Alonso
and Victor Moses playing well as wing-backs,
Willian has barely had a look in.
He was handed 13 minutes of action in Chelsea's
2-1 win over Tottenham on Saturday however, and
Conte was pleased with the 28-year-old's
contribution.
"Pedro scored a great goal but he worked a lot for
the team, that’s what I want to see and it’s
important to continue in this way," he said.

Despite his lack of game time, Express Sport
understands his former boss Jose Mourinho is
keen to bring him to Manchester United.
Mourinho is a big fan of the winger and is lining up
a £25m move in January.
