"I wish I'd never left." — Former Chelsea player reveals he regrets leaving Chelsea to join Premier League rivals.

 The former Chelsea star has revealed he regrets moving to Premier League rivals

Former Chelsea star, Willian has revealed he regrets leaving Chelsea to join Premier League rivals, Fulham. 

The Brazilian winger joined the Blues in the summer of 2013 from Anzi Makhachkala. He went on to make 339 appearances for the club, scoring 63 goals and registering 62 assists.He was refused a three-year extension in the summer of 2020 due to Chelsea's policy of offering short contracts to players north of 30 under the Roman Abramovich era. Having come to the end of his contract at Stamford Bridge, he joined Arsenal, who were happy to offer the then 33-year-old a three-year contract.His stay at the Emirates, however, was cut short after a season by mutual consent. He played only 37 games for the Gunners, scoring one goal and registering seven assists.Willian returned to the Premier League this season with Fulham. He has played 21 goals for the side from Craven Cottage, scoring three goals and assisting three more.

Speaking in an interview, per Football Daily, Willian said:

“Yeah. I wish I’d never left. Yeah. Of course, it’s easy to say something now, but when I stop to think about the whole situation then yeah, I say to myself I wish I’d never left. But it’s life. I’m happy now at Fulham – enjoying myself there, so this is life.”

Since his departure, Chelsea have signed a plethora of wingers — Christian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling, Mykailo Mudryk... with none of them able to perform or fill in his boots like he'd done in his time with Eden Hazard.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead.
