Arsenal winger Willian is reportedly looking set to leave the club in this summer’s transfer window, just a year after joining the Gunners.
The Brazil international has proven something of a flop since joining Arsenal from Chelsea, with the player not looking the same world class performer he looked for so much of his time at Stamford Bridge.

Most Gooners probably won’t be too bothered by this news, with Willian not looking like an ideal long-term option for this struggling side.
Mikel Arteta surely needs to strengthen his attack this summer after a lack of impact from Willian, while others like Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also had below-par seasons.
Romano claims Inter Miami have shown an interest in Willian in the past, but it remains to be seen where he’ll end up if he does leave north London.
Willian’s departure should open up the chance for Reiss Nelson in The Arsenal squad
I dont think Reiss has ever shown his true potential we knew he had. He has had many chances to establish himself but the fact remains he has not done that.
