Brazilian winger, Willian has completed the signing of a three-year deal with Arsenal from Chelsea on a free transfer. He is Arsenal’s first summer signing and will wear the No 12 shirt.
The 32-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at Arsenal after his contract at Stamford Bridge expired at the end of 2019/20.
“I believe he’s a player that can really make a difference for us,” Arsenal’s head coach, Mikel Arteta told the club’s official website.
“We had a clear intention to strengthen in the attacking midfielder and the winger positions, and he is a player that gives us a lot of versatility, he can play in three or four different positions.”
Willian spent seven seasons with the Blues and won two Premier League titles.
According to premierleague.com ‘the signing fee reflects that it is a free transfer and if he sees out the duration it’s a great deal for him.’
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted he was impressed by Willian’s desire to join the north London club. “I believe he’s a player that can really make a difference for us,” said Arteta.
