Former Chelsea star set to return to Premier League – report
According to latest reports, Willian, a former winger for Chelsea and Arsenal, could return to the Premier League, as Fulham considering his move.
However, Willian played in the Premier League for about eight years with Arsenal and Chelsea before joining Corinthians last year after a return to Brazil.
The Brazilian played mostly for Chelsea during his successful spell in England, and he may be returning to the Premier League this summer.
However, According to GOAL, Fulham are showing an interest in Willian, who has a release clause in his contract meaning if a European club comes in for him, he will be allowed to leave.
Willian has struggled upon his return to Brazil, scoring just one goal. At 33 years old, signing Willian might not be the smartest move for Fulham. The Brazilian is likely to be on high wages, and was released from his contract at Arsenal due to underperforming.
His poor form continued when joining Corinthians, so it’s clear to see he isn’t the player he once was when at Chelsea.
However, Fulham will be desperately trying to secure Premier League survival going into the new season, so maybe bringing in a player with vast experience could help them.
