Arteta Heaps Praise On Willian After Stellar Performance Against Foxes

Arteta Heaps Praise On Willian After Stellar Performance Against Foxes

Mikel Arteta has lauded Willian for his stellar performance in Arsenal’s comeback victory over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Willian helped the Gunners to secure a 3-1 win against the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.

Arteta believes the Brazil international is starting to prove his worth in North London after a difficult start to life at Emirates Stadium.

Willian swapped Chelsea, where he spent seven years, for the North Londoners before the beginning of the 2020/2021 season, but he is yet to light up the Premier League wearing the Arsenal colours.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk man came on as a second half substitute to help Arsenal secure a place in the next round of the Europa League last Thursday.

And the 32-year-old gave two assists to help Arsenal beat Leicester City. Speaking to the media after the game Arteta said on Willian: “He was really good.

“We’ve seen that in training the last few weeks. He’s rebuilding himself and he’s not accepted the situation.”

“I think he was the player who changed the game against Benfica in the last few moments when he came on, and today I think he was terrific.”

“The same with the other senior players. Laca, I think the way he played, Nico grew in the game and had a big impact as well.”

“Granit as well. A player who has played that many minutes, to play with the heart and the passion he showed in every action, I think it’s a great example for the rest of the players.”
