The Brazilian winger has been one of Chelsea's most consistent performers, ever since his €32 million move from Anzhi Makhachkala.

Gifted with quick feet and excellent dribbling skills, Willian found great joy playing Chelsea's counter-attacking football, dribbling with explosive pace while keeping hold of the ball and scoring some exquisite goals.

The Brazilian has had two difficult seasons under Conte however, often being benched for Pedro or not fitting into the 3-5-2 system.

In spite of being on short on playing time, the Brazilian scored 14 and assisted eight, a feat which saw him become Chelsea's 'Players' Player of the Year.'

What was most remarkable about the bushy-haired winger though, was his almost telepathic connection with Hazard, as the duo often found each other in the tightest of spaces without breaking a sweat.

Willian on Mourinho: "He likes me a lot and I like him a lot as a coach and as a person. He has put his trust in me and in my work, and I was very grateful to him."

With no information regarding Conte's future, much less the identity of the new manager, Willian has attracted interest from long-time admirer Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.

The Brazilian is rumored to be interested in exiting from the Bridge if Conte stays on, and could feature in a deal that sees Frenchman Anthony Martial move in the opposite direction.

This is a deal that could work out well for both clubs. While United would be getting much-needed quality on the right-wing, Martial's signing for Chelsea could signal to Hazard the club are prepared to match his ambition, forcing him to stay.
