Chelsea winger Willian has declared that he wants to play in both the Copa America and Rio Olympics for Brazil this summer.

The 27-year-old is hoping that the Blues can reach an agreement with the Brazilian Football Confederation.

"Everyone knows my desire to play in both championships," Willian told ESPN Brazil.

"But of course we do not want to fight and put Chelsea in a difficult situation, and I do not want to fight with the Brazil Football Confederation.

"I hope they and Chelsea enter into an agreement."

Willian has scored 10 goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season.
