Bernd Leno delivers verdict on Willian after his struggles at Arsenal
Bernd Leꦏno saw Willian really struggle at Arsenal when t✤hey were teammates at the Emirates, but the German is now seeing his class at Fulham.
Mikel Arteta signed the Brazilian from Chelsea on a free transfer in the summer of 2020. Bringing in an experienced player like him to help Arsenal’s young squad made a lot of 🐟sense, but things just didn’t go to plan.
Willian terminated his contract at Arsenal in 2021 and left the club for free.
Bernd Leno hails old Arsenal teammate Willian
Willian, who is pai🎶d £40,000-a-week () now at Fulham, earned six times that at Arsenal, but when things didn’t work out, he gave the rest of his contract up and for free. That earned him a lot of praise from Gunners fans when he left.
The Brazilian’s career at the top level was deemed by many to be over after his spell at the Emira♔tes, but Willian, as he has done many times before, has proven people wrong.
Th꧑e now 34-year-old is at Fulham and he is having a very good season. He has three goals and three assists to his name in 17 Premier League starts, and๊ has given Marco Silva’s side a big lift.
Leno, ꧟who has known Willian since his Arsenal days, is in awe of him.
The German Goal: “Willian is the best. He’s 34 years old♍, but he looks like 25 years old and everything. And he’s still very sharp.
“He understands the game and he had a great🦩 career, but he’s still working hard every day to perform at the weekend. And that🤪’s very impressive.”
TBR View:
It really is strange tha💮t things d൩id not work out for Willian at Arsenal.
He knew the Premier League very well, had tons of experience under his belt and played alongside very good players at the Emirates. All signs pointed towards success when the Gunn🍸ers signed him for free, but it was a disaster.
Willian scored just one goal for Arsenal that season. He just didn’t look like his usual self, a💟nd that infuriated everyone who supported the Gunners.
It was the best thing for all parties to part ways in 2021, and both Arsen🐻al and Willian are flying now.
