Willian Borges da Silva

Willian Borges da Silva

Willian Borges da Silva attacks space from wide positions, dropping into pockets to link play and drive runs beyond the line. In Shakhtar Donetsk he broke through and won the UEFA Cup in 2009. Chelsea moved him to a more central role. Chelsea then delivered two Premier League titles for Willian in 2015 and 2017. He won the Europa League with Chelsea in 2019. Returning to Grêmio in 2025, Willian anchors wide play as a creative veteran. Willian Borges da Silva operates as an inverted left winger, checking short then spinning in behind and delivering through balls. He attacks the back post and presses high to force turnovers from the front. He gets shots off quickly after cutting inside.
