Willian handed in Arsenal transfer request after three months because of Mikel Arteta's broken promises

Willian revealed he handed in a transfer request after three months at Arsenal in 2020, claiming Arteta promised to build the team around him but failed to deliver.

Willian has opened up about his brief spell at Arsenal, explaining that he joined from Chelsea in summer 2020 on a three-year deal after Arteta promised to make him the focal point of the team's attack. The Brazilian winger lasted just one season, making 37 appearances with one goal and seven assists before departing for Corinthians. In a recent podcast interview, Willian revealed he requested a transfer after only three months, saying Arteta's promises did not materialise on the pitch.
