Premier League: Arsenal sign Willian on three-year deal after Chelsea exit

Firstpost  

Willian won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup and the Europa League during seven years with Chelsea. “I think that with Arteta, Arsenal have a great opportunity to fight again for titles in the Premier League and in Europe so I’m very happy because of that,” said Willian. He said a lot of good things to me and that’s why I have come to Arsenal.” Although Arsenal will not have to pay a transfer fee, the move for Willian, who is reportedly set to earn £200,000 a week, has been criticised just a week after the club announced they are planning to cut 55 jobs due to damaging economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the 70-time capped Brazilian international was one of Chelsea’s standout performers after football’s return from the coronavirus shutdown to help Frank Lampard’s men secure a place in the Premier League’s top four.
