Willian’s long career has been the subject of a crazy hypothesis in recent months, that is, due to the uncertainty of his contract at Chelsea.
Since the Blues refused to respond to the request at the end of a three-year contract, it is clear that the 32-year-old’s religion is far from Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal reacted quickly to Willian’s prayers for a long-term and yet controlled agreement to reach the deal.
The Gunners announced the signing of former striker Anzhi Makhachkala on their official online website on Friday morning.
“I think he’s a player who can make a difference to us,” Arteta said.
“We’ve been watching it for a few months now, we had a transparent goal of strengthening the offensive midfield and extreme positions [and] it’s a player that gives us a lot of versatility, can play in 3 or 4 different positions.He has the joy of everything in world football, but he has the ambition to come here and help to take the club to his place.In fact, I was inspired by all the discussions I had with him and how much he was looking to come.
Willian joined the Premier League in 2013 and has 37 and 39 assists in 234 senior appearances for Chelsea.
During his seven years in west London, brazil’s foreigner won five primary trophies, adding two Premier League crowns.
His arrival in the Emirates brings a winning joy and mindset to Mikel Arteta’s team and gives a special touch to his hopes of keeping Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on board.
