The 31-year-old’s contract with the Blues comes to an end in the summer of 2020 and it is suggested that the Gunners will look to take advantage of that – though they will face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United.
One Arsenal fan account said they would be open to signing him on a free transfer, which seems to have caused debate within the fanbase.
There are some fans who feel that he could be a positive signing for the Gunners, with one giving the opinion that he is “better than [Nicolas] Pepe”.
The Brazilian has played a massive 329 games for Chelsea, making a fairly impressive return of 59 goals and a further 59 assists.

Looking at this season, Willian has made a total of 37 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.
However, not all Gunners fans are so enthused by the links, with one referring to him as “Mkhitaryan part 2”.
At 31 years of age, there are some who feel the winger is past his best, meaning that he will naturally be on the decline by the time he walks through the Emirates entrance if the move goes ahead.
There is also the feeling that the wages that would be required to bring him in can be utilised in a smarter way, with the Brazilian’s arrival potentially detracting from the game time available to young talents such as Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka.
Meanwhile, one Arsenal player was mercilessly slated by fans after the victory against West Ham United.
