Willian opens on his Arsenal nightmare and admits he 'wasn't happy at the club'... with the Brazilian terminating his £220,000-a-week contract by mutual consent after a disastrous 12 months

Willian has opened up on his difficult Arsenal spell and admitted he was unhappy during his time at the Emirates.

The Brazilian signed a three-year contract, which was worth £220,000-a-week, with the Gunners last summer after leaving Chelsea on a free transfer but failed to live up to expectations.

The forward managed just one goal and five assists in 37 games across all competitions in the 2020-2021 campaign. Willian did not feature in any of Arsenal's opening three games of this season and the club terminated his contract by mutual consent on August 30.
