Willian has completed just three 90-minute Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season.
And his struggles to cement a role in Antonio Conte’s starting XI has led to widespread speculation of a January departure with Manchester United and Barcelona touted as possible destinations.
But Willian has quashed rumours, and insists he’s extremely happy with the Premier League champions.
“The fans can be calm. I am a Chelsea player and I am very pleased with the way I have been playing in recent weeks,” the Brazilian said.
Griezmann worry
16:30: Manchester United are concerned that Antoine Griezmann will move to Barcelona over Old Trafford in the summer, the Independent reports.
The paper claims the Spanish side have surged ahead in the race for his signature, after a deal with United fell apart in June in the wake of Atletico Madrid's transfer ban.
