Published on August 5, 2020, Brazilian winger Willian has been chasing a three-year contract at the age of 31.
As a free agent after leaving Chelsea, Willian has been linked with several clubs, including Arsenal and Tottenham.
According to reports, Willian has told friends that he wants to join Arsenal, even though the most lucrative deal on the table has come from Inter Miami.
While Arsenal aren't willing to match the money offered from the States, they are willing to offer the extra year that Willian is craving.
Crucially, Willian would also be able to stay in London where his family are settled.
Willian has been at Stamford Bridge since 2013 and has also been linked with a reunion with his old Blues boss Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.
However, the project that Mikel Arteta is overseeing at Arsenal seems to have won the fight for his affections, with his agent Kia Joorabchian maintaining good relations with the Gunners.
Willian was absent from Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal at the weekend through injury, and he is set to miss Saturday's Champions League trip to Bayern Munich.
