Official: Willian signs in as new Fulham player, back to the club after leaving Olympiacos

Fulham have made headlines with the announcement of Willian’s return to the club, just half a year after he left to join Olympiacos. The Brazilian winger, now 36 years old, initially signed a one-year contract with the Greek side in September last year. However, his time in Greece was cut short, as he made only three starts and eight substitute appearances before his contract was terminated in December.

During his previous stint at Fulham, Willian had made a significant impact, scoring 10 goals in 67 appearances across all competitions during a successful two-year spell at Craven Cottage. His return is seen as a boon for Fulham, especially as they are looking to solidify their position in the Premier League.

Willian has now signed a contract that will keep him at Fulham until the end of the current season and will wear the number 22 shirt, a number that carries its own significance for the player. Expressing his joy at returning to the club, Willian stated: “I’m really happy to be back here. I think it’s a great opportunity again to play for this Club, and I’m fully motivated to get on the pitch and do things well for this Club.”

In his statement, he also shared insight into his personal happiness, saying, “I’m completely happy, my family’s happy. We are happy to be back, and I think we can do good things until the end of the season, so I can’t wait to start with my teammates and do good things inside the pitch.” This sentiment captures the enthusiasm and determination he brings back to the team.

As the former Chelsea and Arsenal player re-integrates into the squad, he joins a Fulham side currently sitting in 9th place in the Premier League. The prospect of Willian making his second debut for the Cottagers is exciting for fans, as he could potentially take the field when Marco Silva’s side travels to face Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round this weekend. The match could provide an excellent opportunity for Willian to showcase his continued talent and experience, galvanizing the squad as they aim for success in both domestic competitions and their league campaign.
