BREAKING: Fulham seal deal to bring William back to the club from Olympiacos
Fulham are interested in re-signing Willian – with the Brazil star, 36, a free agent after terminating deal with Olympiacos inside just six months
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 but made only 11 appearances 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 providing 46 assists.
He won the Premier League title with Chelsea in the 2014-15 and 2016-17 seasons, while he also lifted the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League with the Blues.
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.
