Willian unhappy at Arsenal and Real Betis could look to sign him next summer

Willian is unhappy at Arsenal and Spanish side Real Betis could look to sign him next summer, according to Spanish media outlet La Razon.

The Brazilian winger joined the Gunners on a free transfer last summer and signed a three year contract with the club after his contract with Chelsea expired. He has endured a frustrating start to life in North London and is yet to find the back of the net. He has provided three assists in 14 games across all competitions but two of his three assists came on the opening day of the Premier League season against Fulham.

The 32-year-old was expected to be the creative hub of this Arsenal side and help them score more goals. Last season, Willian was the eighth most creative player in the Premier League and generated 12 big chances. 

In the current campaign, he has failed to unlock opposition defences and the Gunners are struggling to find the back of the net more than ever before. Hector Bellerin has been the club’s most creative player this season and has created three big chances. He is the 20th most creative player in the league.

It is being reported that the Brazilian is unhappy at the Emirates and could be targeted by Real Betis next summer. The Spanish side could be in need of a winger if Joaquin does not extend his contract and they are said to be keeping tabs on Willian. He would have to be willing to reduce his wage demands and the Gunners would have to forego a transfer fee.

This news should be taken with a pinch of salt as it is still early days in Willian’s Arsenal career and it is difficult to imagine that both the player and the club would be willing to part ways. Gooners have been unhappy with Willian’s performances in an Arsenal shirt so far this season and he will have to step it up to help improve the North London side’s results on the pitch and gain the affection of the Arsenal fans.
