Willian insists he was "super excited" to join Arsenal before his happiness nosedived and he was forced to rip up his £20million contract.
The Brazilian, 33, joined the Gunners on a free transfer from Chelsea in August 2020 and signed a lucrative three-year deal which included an enormous signing bonus.
But Willian never adapted to life at the Emirates and found the back of the net just once in 37 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side.
