Brazilian Willian may be set to follow his friend and compatriot David Luiz out of the exit door at the Emirates.
The 32-year old only joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer, signing a three year deal after leaving Stamford bridge on a fre contract.
However, he has struggled to adapt to life in North London, providing five assists and waiting until mayto score ins first goal for the club a free kick against relegated West Bromwich Albion.
He has been widely derided by the fans for a perceived lack of effort, and for holding back the development of other players, and now it looks like he could be leaving, with suggestions that other European clubs and teams from the MLS, particularly David Beckham’s Inter Miami, are interested in signing him.
Arsenal potentially would be happy to tear up his contract and let him go for free, as they have done with a number of other players they wanted ot get rid of in January, like Meust Ozil, Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi.
