Former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United manager Redknapp claimed Willian was asking for a lot of money to sign a new contract with Chelsea before his move to Arsenal.
Frank Lampard was Chelsea’s manager at the time and is the nephew of Redknapp, who has also claimed that he wanted the former England international midfielder to sign John Stones from Manchester City.
Redknapp said of Willian on Sky Sports News (1:43 pm, Feb 13, 2021): “Willian has been a disappointment, hasn’t he? I bet it’s mega-money. I know he was asking Chelsea for crazy money to stay, so he must have gotten it to go to Arsenal. “

Disappointing at Arsenal
Willian came to Arsenal with a solid reputation, having won the Premier League (twice), the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea.
However, the 32-year-old has not had the best times at Arsenal and is not playing well at the moment.
According to WhoScored, the Brazilian has made 12 starts and five backup appearances in the league so far this season, providing three assists in the process.
