Arsenal ace Willian knows former club Chelsea have pulled off a coup in signing former PSG captain Thiago Silva.

The Telegraph says Willian jokingly told Thiago Silva that he would have turned down a move to Arsenal and stayed at Chelsea if he knew the defender was heading to Stamford Bridge.

Silva, 35, signed a one-year deal with the Blues last month after his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired, allowing the defender to leave the Champions League runners-up on a free.

News of Silva's arrival at Chelsea could've seen Willian extend his stay in west London after the winger playfully told his compatriot: "If I'd known you were moving to Chelsea, I would have stayed there after all."

Willian brought the curtain down of his seven-year spell with Chelsea last month to join London rivals Arsenal on a three-year deal.
