Brazilian winger Willian has explained why he wanted to leave Arsenal just three months after joining the club from Chelsea.
Willian joined the Gunners on a free transfer at the start of last season after parting ways with the Blues.
However, the Brazilian's three-year deal was cut short after he requested to return to the Brazil and join boyhood club Corinthians in August.
"So, when I arrived there I was happy, from the beginning I was motivated, I wanted to do well, new club, new mates, new projects.
"After three months, I told my agent: 'Please, I want to go'.
I don't want to speak bad about the club because it is a big club, has a big history in football, big players played there before, it's a big club – but it didn't work, it was, of course, the most difficult time of my career."
