Arsenal are confident of signing Chelsea midfielder Willian.
Willian's Chelsea contract is due to expire on July 26 and talks over an extension have stalled.
ESPN Brasil says the Gunners are 'very optimistic' over completing a deal for the former Corinthians and Shakhtar Donetsk ace.
Willian has been one of Chelsea's shining lights since Premier League football returned from the coronavirus break.
Talks over a contract extension have been ongoing for many months but they broke down over the length of the deal.
Willian recently stated, "There are rumours about several teams that may be interested.
“For the time being, I have had no concrete proposal. But rumours always arise. I'm waiting. My agent hasn't given me any news yet. I'm waiting for his call."
