Arsenal set to unveil Willian on a three years deal

Arsenal have continued to remain active in the transfer market ahead of the forthcoming season. 

Earlier today, the Premier League confirmed that the new Premier League season will begin on September 12 after the calendar dates were revealed.

It's understood that the Gunners are in the market for a play maker as Mesut Özil seems to be frozen out of the squad and Dani Ceballos loan deal has expired and doesn't look like Real Madrid will be willing to sell the 24 years old this summer.

Although, Arsenal might not be able to sign a marquee player this summer due to financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

But Mikel Arteta has switched his attention to free agent Willian. 

Willian is expected to become an Arsenal player in coming days, according to Sky Sports.

It's been gathered that the deal could be completed by Saturday.

This comes after the  32-year-old left Stamford Bridge at the end of his contract after a seven years at Stamford Bridge.

It was suggested that Chelsea were willing to offer him a two-year deal rather than the player's desired three years.

Arsenal have agreed to sign the Brazil international by offering a three-year contract last week.

 Meanwhile, Barcelona and Inter Miami were also interested in signing the former Shakhtar Donetsk winger but seems the Gunners have beaten all their competitors to the signature of Willian.
