Chelsea defender David Luiz believes compatriot Willian will be staying with the Blues despite the ongoing speculation regarding his future.

The Brazil international has been linked with the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United over the past month and the former have already failed with three separate bids for his services.

Despite this, Luiz firmly believes that his teammate is content with the Blues and could stay put beyond the summer, he said: "(We speak) almost every day, he loves playing for Chelsea, I don't let him go! I think he's going to stay."

Barca are recently understood to have switched their attention towards signing Malcom from Bordeaux and this has potentially left United as the sole club interested in the Brazilian.

Jose Mourinho's side are yet to make an approach for the 29-year-old but reports suggest that the Blues may be reluctant to sell the winger to their league rivals after helping them strengthen with Matic last summer.
