Arsenal are reportedly on the brink of confirming the signing of former Chelsea winger Willian.

Having formally announced his departure from Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, the 32-year-old is now free to sign for a new club.


Despite the rivalry between the two London outfits, there is every expectancy that the Brazilian will soon link up with Mikel Arteta's first-team squad.

According to Sky Sports News, the Gunners hope to be in a position to officially unveil Willian within the next 48 hours.

The player has always favoured remaining in England's capital on a three-year contract, two demands which were quickly met by Arsenal officials.
