Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to dump Willian in the summer transfer window, second L’Espresso. The Spaniard wants to leave the former Chelsea winger this summer due to his £ 192,000 a week salary. Arteta wants to free up salaries to be able to bring other players.
Despite Arteta’s willingness to dump Willian, there is little interest in the 33-year-old Brazilian international, who can also play as a playmaker. The former Chelsea star had a disappointing season in 2020-21, and there’s also a sense that he’s past his prime.
Willian played 16 games as a starter and nine Premier League substitutes for Arsenal last season, scoring a goal and providing five assists in the process. The winger made three appearances as a starter and six appearances as a substitute in the Europa League in 2020-21, providing two assists in the process.
