Arsenal to announce Willian transfer soon

Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Willian Borges da Silva on a three-year contract worth £100,000-a-week according to Dailymail.

The Blues tried to hold down their star player but Willian wasn’t interested in a short deal given his age and found a better offer from the Gunners.

The 32-year old has been consistent for the Blues over the past few years and has displayed some serious performances ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Brazilian for Arsenal would give the club a different dimension to the game and add a great depth to their young squad.

When Arsenal do finally announce the signing it would mean they have beaten a host of clubs, including David Beckham’s new MLS franchise Inter Miami, Manchester United and several other clubs from Serie A. The player’s agent had earlier said that Willian had five different offers.

Willian might be the first of many signings as Arsenal are set for a busy summer as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad ahead of a new season that brings in a lot of expectations from him.
