Willian has lost his starting place to in-form Pedro Rodriguez, and the Brazilian barely gets to start matches these days.

The 28-year-old has had to come on from the bench more often than not in the past months, and reports now have it that the Chelsea winger is worried about his lack of game time.

The Evening Standard claim Willian is ‘concerned’ about his lack of games this term. But they add Conte wants a big squad for next season ahead of the club’s return to Champions League action, meaning Willian will get more opportunities next season.

Conte has preferred a front three of Pedro, Hazard and Diego Costa, and Starsport understand Jose Mourinho is ready to launch a £60 million raid to get the Brazilian.
