Willian finally speaks on his disastrous Arsenal spell

Speaking to TV Corinthians, Willian said: "I really thought a lot, together with my family and close people. Unfortunately, my time at Arsenal was not good, I wasn't happy at the club.

"I don't need to go into details, but I wasn't happy and I thought that returning to Brazil was the best option. I studied some other opportunities.

"But I wanted to return to Corinthians, to my home, to be close to my family. It's the club that projected me to the world, revealed me. The right time to come back was this."

Willian joined Arsenal from Chelsea on a three-year contract in the summer of 2020 after turning down a one-year extension at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Brazilian has only scored one goal for the Gunners across all competition, terminating his contract in the summer to move to Corinthians.
