Arsenal has confirmed that Willian Borges da Silva is set to return to Brazil to join Corinthians on transfer deadline day.

The 32-year-old will leave the Gunners after just one season at Emirates Stadium, after a mutual agreement.

Recall that Willian signed for the Gunners on a free transfer from Chelsea last summer and struggled to make the desired impact on Mikel Arteta’s side.
