Willian sends message to Arsenal supporters after Chelsea transfer

Willian has sent a message to Arsenal supporters after completing his move from Chelsea.

The Gunners announced the signing of the Brazilian on a three-year deal worth 100k-per-week on Friday.

Having penned on the dotted line, Willian sent a video message to supporters relaying his excitement about playing for his new club.

Posted on Arsenal's official Twitter page, he said: "Hi guys, it's Willian here. Looking forward to playing my first game at the Emirates Stadium. See you guys, let's go Arsenal!"

Speaking to the club website, Willian elaborated.

"[I like] the way they play, everything is amazing - the stadium, and I think that with Arteta, Arsenal have a great opportunity to fight again for titles in the Premier League and in Europe so I'm very happy because of that," Willian told Arsenal Digital.

"I'm excited to start. I can't wait to go on the pitch and do my thing to help my team-mates and to help this club to shine again. That's what I want.

"When I talked to [Mikel], the conversation was good, he gave me confidence to come to Arsenal. He said a lot of good things to me and that's why I have come to Arsenal.

"Haha, that's a difficult question - I don't know! I leave that to Arteta [what position he plays]. I come to help in every position.

"I can play on the right, I can play in the middle, I can play on the left side as well. So I want to help - in any position where they put me to play, I will try to do my best."
