Veteran playmaker Willian is in talks to re-join Fulham, just six months after leaving the Cottagers. The 36-year-old Brazilian left Fulham last summer to join Olympiakos, but his stint in Greece did not go to plan, leaving the club in December after just 11 appearances.
Willian had spells in the Premier League with Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham, most significantly with the Blues where he won two Premier League titles. He made 339 appearances for Chelsea, also lifting the FA Cup and Europa League trophy during his time at Stamford Bridge.
As the Brazil international is a free agent, the deal does not need to be completed before Monday night's transfer deadline, but the move is close to being completed. Sky Sports reports that talks are ongoing to bring him back to Craven Cottage.
Willian turns 37 in August and has a wealth of experience across Europe, in his home country and at international level. He has 70 caps for Brazil, winning the Copa America in 2019, and outside of the Premier League he has turned out for Corinthians, Shakhtar Donetsk and Anzhi Makhachkala.
It has been an incredibly quiet transfer window for Fulham so far, with no significant arrivals or departures from Marco Silva's squad. The Cottagers have won two of their last three games, beating Newcastle 2-1 on Saturday to climb back up to ninth in the Premier League table.
