Willian has suggested that he ripped up his Arsenal contract because he did not feel “motivated” and was struggling to play in front of an empty stadium.
The Brazilian winger signed for the Gunners in 2020 following a successful seven-year spell with Chelsea. He was handed a lucrative three-year contract upon arriving at the Emirates Stadium but things didn't pan out as expected for the two-time Premier League winner.
In 37 appearances for Arsenal in his one and only campaign in North London, he scored just one goal but did manage to provide seven assists in all competitions. Despite having two years left to run on his contract, Willian made the decision to depart the club via a mutual agreement and then returned to Brazil with Corinthians.
