Fulham are interested in bringing former winger Willian back to the club. The 36-year-old departed Marco Silva's side at the end of last season after two years with the club. Willian joined Greek giants Olympiacos when he left Craven Cottage last summer but made only 11 appearances for the club in all competitions before prematurely ending his one-year deal in December. Fulham are able to sign the brazilian beyond Monday's 11pm deadline as he is a free agent.
In total Willian has made 317 appearances in the Premier League and scored 47 goals, while he provided 46 assists. He won the Premier League title with Chelsea in the 2014-15 and 2016-17 seasons, while he also won the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League with the Blues. While he made a significant impact at Stamford Bridge, the same couldn't be said of Willian's time at Arsenal, for whom he struggled.
After returning to Brazil with Corinthians, Willian then headed back to the Premier League with Fulham, where he scored ten goals in 67 games. He commenced his career with Corinthians and then played for Shakhtar Donetsk prior to joining Anzhi Makhachkala. A move to Chelsea followed in 2013 despite interest from Tottenham. His short time in Greece was marred by injuries. He failed to score in his few outings and recorded only one assist.
