In-form Chelsea player tipped to leave Stamford Bridge This Summer

Steve Nicol is tipping Brazil international forward Willian to leave Stamford Bridge this summer transfer window but has ruled out the winger joining Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Great week as a Chelsea player

The South American wide man has enjoyed a great week in the Chelsea team following his resurgence recently at Stamford Bridge.

The attacker hit the post on two occasions before he finally scored in a 1-1 draw with Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona in the first leg fixture of their UEFA Champions League round of 16-clash in February.

The 28-year-old exciting attacker opened the scoring in an impressive display in the Blues’ 2-1 defeat to League rivals Manchester United last weekend at Old Trafford.

Limited playing time at Stamford Bridge

The forward has struggled to cement a regular shirt in the Blues team since manager Antonio Conte took over at the West London club back in 2016.

He has been linked heavily with a possible move to Manchester United over the last one year or so, while La Liga leaders FC Barcelona have also emerged as a possible destination for the player.

While Nicol feels Willian will leave Chelsea this summer window, the former Liverpool defender doesn’t expect him to join Manchester United.
