“Willian” completes Arsenal move

Willian completes Arsenal move on three-year deal after Chelsea exit

Willian made 47 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season and finished in fine form, with four Premier League goals after the restart taking his tally for the season to nine.

Arsenal has bolstered their attacking options for next season by signing Brazil international Willian on a three-year deal following his departure from Chelsea.

Willian’s contract with Chelsea expired after their Champions League tie with Bayern Munich and Arsenal have beaten off competition from Barcelona and Inter Miami to sign the 32-year-old.

Arsenal technical director Edu, who also represented Brazil, said he knew Willian “very well”.

“He has a lot of fantastic attributes as a person, as a football player of course, his character,” said Edu.

“I’m 100 per cent sure that everybody in the dressing room, the fans, myself and Mikel will enjoy having Willian in our side
