The Brazilian and now former Chelsea player, Willian, has reportedly undergone his medical at Arsenal yesterday at the London club.
As reported by Naijacrawl, the 32 year old player confirmed on Sunday he will be leaving Chelsea after 7 years in the club.
According to The Telegraph, Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, made a special request to the club’s board and asked them to “specifically” sign Willian, despite his age.
Arteta is said to be a big fan of the 32-year-old and strongly believes that he will improve the Gunners next season.
The former Shakhtar Donetsk star confirmed his exit in an open letter to fans on Sunday.
Arsenal had since made a formal three-year contract offer to Willian worth over £100,000-a-week.
