Willian's time at Stamford Bridge seems to have come to an end
Willian's time at Stamford Bridge seems to have come to an end

Pace, invention, and trickery down the flanks have been a feature of Chelsea's play for years. Damien Duff, Arjen Robben, Jesper Gronkjaer are just some of the fantastic wingmen that have delighted the Stamford Bridge faithful over the years.

To be fair to the current bunch, they have had good days. Willian, Pedro and especially Eden Hazard have been brilliant on occasion for the team. However, with the exception of the mercurial Belgian, the others have declined.

Willian's decision-making constantly baffles on-lookers while Pedro's on-off form since he joined from Barcelona means he cannot be relied on. With age no longer on their side, next season will be a good time to bid both players goodbye.

The arrival of Christian Pulisic and the determination to hold on to Callum Hudson-Odoi means the club are aware of this problem. However, more quality will need to be added if the wings are to become important once again for the team.

Hazard's future is still far from certain and with him taking on a more central role, the club will need to spend big to fill the holes down the flanks.
