Willian was 'not happy' at Arsenal but won't reveal reasons following return to Corinthians

The Brazilian terminated his contract with the Gunners two years early to head back to his homeland on deadline day

Willian has admitted that he "wasn't happy" at Arsenal while explaining his decision to rejoin Corinthians.

Arsenal initially snapped Willian up on a free transfer in the summer of 2020 after his departure from Chelsea, where he had established himself as one of the most consistent midfielders in the Premier League.

The Brazilian was handed a three-year contract at Emirates Stadium, but failed to reach the same high standards in his first season with the Gunners, and ultimately decided to cut short that agreement and head back to his homeland on deadline day.
