The agent of departing Chelsea midfielder Willian admits a move to Arsenal is close.

Willian announced he would be leaving Chelsea after seven years when his contract expires this August, and has reportedly already completed his medical at Arsenal.

The Brazilian will put pen to paper on a three-year deal worth £150,000-a-week.

Kia Joorabchian appeared to confirm this on talkSPORT, saying: "It won't be long before we announce it. We know where he is going."

However, the agent also cooled talk of a deal with Arsenal for Sporting CP winger Joelson Fernandes.

He added: "We have never ever spoken to him about Arsenal. It is so untrue."
