If you recall that Arsenal completed the deal for the 33 years old from Chelsea on a free transfer. But Willian hasn't been able to find his feet at the club.
Willian signed a three year deal and he currently earns a fee of around £220K per week.
Arsenal lost desperate to cut their wage bill given the current financial situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
While speaking during his press conference, Willian has stated that he takes the blame for not being able to get the best out of the Brazilian.
First of all we signed a player with an incredible talent, a proven talent and performance level in this league, and this season has been difficult and I take full responsibility because I have to be the one getting the best out of him and we had moments but not to the level that he did before. This is an assessment that we will do individually with the players and with Edu, the board and the ownership to make the right decisions for the future."
Arsenal still hold on to a slim chance of getting a ticket for the Europa League next season. The Gunners are four points away as they occupy the 9th position in the league. The Gunners will travel to the Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.
On whether he'll remain at Arsenal, Arteta said: "Every player that is under contract is very likely to be here with us next season."
