Willian Reveals He Wanted To Leave Arsenal After Three Months

Willian Reveals He Wanted To Leave Arsenal After Three Months

Willian has revealed that he wanted to leave Arsenal just three months into a three-year contract.

The 33-year-old Brazil international spent just one season at the Emirates Stadium after joining from Chelsea on a free transfer in the summer of 2020.

Willian managed just a single goal in 37 appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side before terminating his contract this summer and returned to his native Brazil, signing for Corinthians.

He was a mainstay in the Chelsea side for seven seasons but failed to replicate that form in North London.

Willian told Rio Ferdinand's Vibe with Five: “I was not happy, that’s why I didn’t perform. I don’t want to go into the details, but I wasn’t happy.

“When I arrived I was happy, from the beginning I was motivated. I wanted to do well, new club, new mates, new projects.

“After three months I told my agent ‘please, I want to go’.

"I don’t want to speak bad about the club because it is a big club, has a big history in football, big players played there before it’s a big club.

"But it didn’t work, it was of course the most difficult time of my career.

“I received a lot of messages on social media from them [Arsenal fans] but also, because I came from Chelsea [it made things worse].

"I think if I came from another club, maybe it could've been better. But because I came from Chelsea and I didn't perform well.

"With everything that happened, I always think about that and I say 'I had to leave'."

Willian’s bright spell at Chelsea saw him win two Premier League titles, one League Cup, one FA Cup and the Europa League.
