Arsenal in talks with Corinthians over Willian deal

The former Chelsea stalwart swapped west London for the north part of the capital last summer but has struggled to have the desired effect

Arsenal are in discussions with Corinthians over a potential free transfer for Willian.

The former Chelsea winger swapped west London for the north part of the capital last summer after a seven-season stay at Stamford Bridge, but has struggled to have the desired effect for Mikel Arteta's side, scoring just one goal in 37 appearances.

He has yet to feature this season and the Gunners are willing to let him leave before next week's transfer deadline, with Brazilian giants Corinthians keen on landing the 33-year-old.
