Arsenal are set to respond to criticism from long suffering supporters with a move to sign much wanted Brazilian attacker Willian
Arsene Wenger will look to beat Tottenham and Liverpool in the race to sign the 25 year old, who is thought to be available for a fee of around £30m, which would of course represent a Gunners club record.
Willian only moved to the Russian Premier League side in January but he, as well as other big earners at Anzhi, have been made available by owner Suleyman Kerimov as he looks to decrease the club’s wage bill and hopes to balance the books with the sales of some star performers having ‘over-invested’ in the club in recent seasons.
Thus far Arsenal’s only new signing has come in the form of free transfer addition Yaya Sanogo though Wenger has done well to trim a fair bit of deadwood from his Emirates Stadium squad.
Funds would appear to be available to mount a big money move for Willian, who was a massive success with Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Anzhi, with many reports suggesting that Arsene Wenger has a hefty transfer war-chest that he is still to invest in his squad
