Willian has joined Fulham… just a year after claiming he left Arsenal because he found it hard to accept not winning on a regular basis.

The Brazil international, 34, has signed a one-year deal at newly promoted Fulham after leaving Corinthians earlier this month. It’s his third club in the Premier League following a successful seven-year spell at Chelsea and a nightmare 12-month stint at Arsenal.

Willian has returned to London only 12 months after agreeing a two-and-a-half-year contract with Corinthians. Few expected him to play in England again due to his age, but he’s made a comeback and will be aiming to keep Fulham in the Premier League.

“I’m happy to be here, I’m happy to be back in the Premier League,” Willian told Fulham’s website. “Fulham is a special club, a club that wants to improve, that wants to fight for something bigger, so I’m here to help, and I cant wait to get started.”

Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan added: “I’m very happy that Willian has officially signed with Fulham.

“He’s been impressive during his recent training sessions with our squad, and we believe that adding a player of Willian’s quality and someone with his vast experience will strengthen the club as we work to build on the strong start that we’ve had to this Premier League season! Come on Fulham…
