Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Willian could leave the Gunners for Corinthians.
What’s the story?
The Telegraph reported yesterday evening (7:51pm) that Willian will leave Arsenal and join Corinthians in the summer transfer window.
The 33-year-old winger wants to leave the Gunners and is interested to moving back to his native Brazil.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta himself is reported to be willing to let the former Chelsea star, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, leave.
Now, there is speculation that Willian’s contract has been terminated.
Jorge Baravalle has claimed on Twitter, as translated from Portuguese: “Willian terminated his contract with Arsenal. His future would be at Corinthians. Yes. Brazil continues to break the market.”
What are Arsenal fans saying?
As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans are over the moon that Willian is reportedly about to leave.
Well, some of them anyway.
The 33-year-old joined Arsenal last summer on a free transfer after leaving London and Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The Brazilian was expected to be a huge hit at the Emirates Stadium, but the former Shakhtar Donetsk star could not make a massive impact.
Willian scored one goal and provided five assists in 16 Premier League starts, and gave two assists in three Europa League starts for Arsenal last season.
