Brazilian international, Willian has terminated his contract with Arsenal in a bid to force a move back to Corinthians.

Willian, who joined the Gunners on a free after leaving London rivals Chelsea made this announce on Monday night.

The 33-year-old made 37 appearances in all competitions during the 2020-21 season, scoring just the one goal from 27 shots.

“Everyone at Arsenal wishes Willian and his family well for the future,” Arsenal said in a statement, adding he was heading for a “new opportunity” with Corinthians, the club where he started his professional career
