Willian turned down an offer from Nottingham Forest and re-signed for Fulham, who are considering whether to make an improved bid for Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi. Fulham had been pushing to reach an agreement with Willian since his previous contract expired at the end of June but other teams had tried to hijack the deal.
Forest were willing to give the Brazilian a two-year deal and there was also interest in the winger from clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, Fulham made a breakthrough in talks with Willian over the weekend. The 34-year-old, a key player for Marco Silva last season, is happy in London and has ended the speculation over his future by signing a one-year deal to stay, with the option of a further 12 months.
