Chelsea ace Willian has extended his contract, with a value of around £120,000-a-week, to 2020 before the arrival of new manager Antonio Conte.

Since joining the Blues in 2013, the creative playmaker has made 96 appearances, netting 11 goals.

The 27-year-old was brought to Chelsea from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala by Jose Mourinho, who wanted to work with him again at Old Trafford. However, Chelsea’s Player of the Year has brushed off being a target for the Special One after penning a new four-year deal.

Antonio Conte is set to take the reigns of this English side and Willian's commitment to the Blues has come as a major boost for the new head boss.

Willian told Chelsea's official website:

"I’m very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea. It’s a dream to continue with this club and over the next four years, I will try to help the team win more trophies. 

"It’s been an amazing time for me since I joined the club three years ago, I’ve won titles and last season I was named Chelsea Player of the Year.

"I hope to be able to stay at that level during the coming seasons and achieve more success."
