Arsenal winger Willian opens up one of the 'most difficult' seasons of his career... insisting 'new philosophy' under Mikel Arteta is behind his struggles since joining on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea

Willian has revealed he has endured one of his 'most difficult' seasons as a professional footballer with Arsenal this term, but dismissed rumours he had not wanted to play for the club.

The Brazilian joined the Gunners on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea in August last year, and will have completed a season of his three-year deal in June.

But the 32-year-old has yet to score for the Gunners in 31 appearances across all competitions and has completed just one Premier League game since the turn of the year.
